Today, we have some breaking news coming out of Indiana as the FBI arrived at former VP Mike Pence’s home and proceeded inside to search for classified documents. This video covers everything you need to know about the situation and what lies ahead.
Today, the FBI searched former Vice President Mike Pence’s Indiana home for classified materials after Pence’s legal team discovered them inside last month.
The Daily Wire reports, in response to revelations that classified documents had been discovered in Biden’s office at the Penn Biden Center, a think tank affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania, Vice President Pence directed his team to search his Indiana home and his office at Advancing American Freedom (AAF), his political advocacy group. During the search of Pence’s office at AAF, no classified papers were found.
After discovering classified government documents at his home in January, the former vice president informed the National Archives, which then informed the FBI. Later, the FBI collected the material found at Pence’s house.
Pence’s legal team and the Department of Justice had negotiated the search today in advance, MSNBC reports.
As I mentioned earlier, President Joe Biden is also being investigated by the Justice Department for handling classified information.
On November 2, less than a week before the 2022 midterm elections, classified documents relating to Biden were found in his former office at the Penn Biden Center, a think tank in Washington, DThe attorneys for Biden have found a number of classified documents at Biden’s home in Wilmington, Delaware, on multiple occasions since then: one document was found in Biden’s study on January 11, and five more were found in Biden’s garage on December 20.
On January 20, the FBI searched Biden’s home for 13 hours and found more classified material.
Although Biden’s team claimed it was cooperative with the Department of Justice, federal investigators were prepared to obtain a search warrant if Biden refused to consent to a search.
Meanwhile, Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed former U.S. Attorney Robert Hur — who served during the Trump administration — to serve as special counsel in the investigation.
This shocking revelation has highlighted a double standard in how the FBI and Department of Justice are approaching political scandals. Biden’s legal team originally found classified documents at his office MONTHS ago, but the public only learned about just weeks ago. In addition, the FBI just recently searched Biden’s home for documents after sweeping the entire ordeal under the rug for months. Meanwhile, the entire situation with Mike Pence’s documents has transpired all in a matter of a couple weeks. The FBI seems to be moving rather quickly with Pence’s case, which is quite odd since Joe Biden’s original documents were found months ago, and more recently in multiple locations.
Let’s continue this conversation, in the comments below.
