The U.S. Justice Department completed a “thorough and unrestricted search” for several hours at the office of Mike Pence’s advocacy organization and found no new documents with classified markings, an adviser for the former vice president said Friday.
One binder with about three previously redacted documents was removed after the search of Pence’s Advancing American Freedom office in Washington, Pence adviser Devin O’Malley said in a statement.
The documents in the binder are believed to be related to debate preparations from the 2020 presidential campaign, according to a person familiar with the situation. The search was conducted with permission from Pence and a member of his legal team was present, the person said.
