The FBI arrives at Mike Pence’s $1.9 million Indiana home to search for more classified documents – hours after he was hit by a subpoena related to a Trump investigation
According to local media, the FBI is scheduled to arrive at Mike Pence’s home in Indiana on Friday morning to search for classified documents.
A police car was seen parked outside the gates of Carmel’s $1.9 million estate – just hours after it was subpoenaed by the Justice Department’s special counsel investigating Donald Trump.
Last month, Pence’s lawyers voluntarily announced that documents bearing secret markings had been discovered at the ex-vice president’s home.
The admission followed classified documents found in President Joe Biden’s former office in DC and in Wilmington, and after Trump’s Mar-a-Lago was searched by the FBI in August for missing classified documents.

The documents were found by one of Pence’s attorneys, who, as a precautionary measure following the Biden and Trump discoveries, had been hired to search his papers at the vice president’s request.
They were found on January 16, with Greg Jacob, Pence’s attorney, writing a letter notifying the National Archives of the discovery on January 18.
Jacob enlisted the help of a senior records official “to collect an additional set of records from the Vice President and place them in the custody of the National Archives.”
“The additional records appear to be a small number of documents with classified markings that were accidentally bagged and transported to the former vice president’s private home at the end of his last term,” Jacob said.
“Vice President Pence was unaware of the existence of sensitive or classified documents in his private home,” the attorney added.
FBI agents came to collect the documents on January 19 – but have not yet checked Pence’s papers themselves.
The FBI is expected to search former Vice President Mike Pence’s Indiana home “within a few days” for more classified documents, NBC News reported Monday
