Paperwork with categorised markings had been found in former US vp Mike Pence’s Indiana residence final week, based on his lawyer.
“The extra data look like a small variety of paperwork bearing categorised markings that had been inadvertently boxed and transported to the non-public residence of the previous vp on the finish of the final administration,” Mr Pence’s lawyer Greg Jacob informed the Nationwide Archives in a letter final week.
He stated that “Pence was unaware of the existence of delicate or categorised paperwork at his private residence” and that he “understands the excessive significance of defending delicate and categorised info and stands prepared and keen to co-operate totally with the Nationwide Archives and any applicable inquiry”.
A Justice Division spokesperson declined to touch upon Tuesday and a lawyer for Pence didn’t instantly reply to an e mail searching for additional elaboration.
Mr Pence informed the Related Press in August that he didn’t take any categorised info with him when he left workplace.
Requested straight if he had retained any categorised info upon leaving workplace, he stated “No, to not my data”.
