Key Facts
A private attorney for the former vice president is at the Carmel, Indiana, residence while the search is happening, CNN reported.
Pence is currently on the West Coast, after the birth of his second grandchild, a spokesperson told CNN.
Key Background
In mid-January a lawyer for Pence found about a dozen documents marked classified at Pence’s home. In a letter to the National Archives, Pence’s attorney said he was “unaware of the existence of the records.” The National Archives then referred the matter to the Justice Department. The documents were previously stored at Pence’s temporary home in Virginia before they were moved to his Indiana home, CNN reported.
