The FBI searched former Vice President Mike Pence's residence last Friday in search of more classified documents. The search lasted five hours and resulted in material with classified markings and six additional pages without confidentiality markings.

The former vice president's aide, Devin O'Malley, said in a statement that officials found the file in a "thorough and unrestricted" search of Pence's Carmel, Indiana, home:

The Justice Department completed an exhaustive, unrestricted five-hour search and removed one document with classified markings and six additional pages without such markings that were not discovered in the initial review by the vice president's counsel.

The registration was planned

The search was planned for several days and the agents had Pence's full consent:

The former Vice President has directed his legal team to continue its cooperation with the appropriate authorities and to be fully transparent in concluding this matter. Following the discovery and disclosure of a small number of potentially classified documents that had been inadvertently transported to his home in Indiana, Vice President Pence and his legal team cooperated fully with the appropriate authorities and agreed to a consensual search of his residence that took place today.

Local police blocked the entrance to the house, before investigators arrived in a white vehicle. Pence was not at his residence during the investigation. He is currently in California visiting his daughter, who recently gave birth to his second grandchild.

Last January, Pence informed Congress that he had found documents with classified markings from his time as vice president in his home.
