FBI arrives at Mike Pence’s $1.9 million Indiana home to search for more classified documents – hours after he was hit with subpoena linked to investigation into Trump

The FBI is set to arrive at Mike Pence‘s Indiana home on Friday morning to search for classified documents, according to local media.

A cop car was seen parked outside the gates of the $1.9million Carmel property – just hours after he was subpoenaed by the Department of Justice Special Counsel investigating Donald Trump.

Last month, Pence’s lawyers voluntarily disclosed that documents with classified markings were discovered at the ex-veep’s home.

The admission came on the heels of classified documents being found at President Joe Biden ‘s former D.C. office and Wilmington home, and after Trump’s Mar-a-Lago was raided by the FBI for missing classified documents in August.

The documents were found by one of Pence’s lawyers, who had been tasked to look through his papers at the vice president’s request, out of the abundance of caution after the Biden and Trump discoveries. 

They were located on January 16, with Pence’s lawyer Greg Jacob writing a letter and informing the National Archives of the discovery on January 18.  

Jacob asked a top Archives official for help ‘collecting and transferring to the custody of the National Archives an additional set of Vice Presidential records.’ 

‘The additional records appear to be a small number of documents bearing classified markings that were inadvertently boxed and transported to the personal home of the former Vice President at the end of the last Administration,’ Jacob said. 

‘Vice President Pence was unaware of the existence of sensitive or classified documents at his personal residence,’ the lawyer added. 

FBI agents came to collect the documents on January 19 – but haven’t sifted through Pence’s papers on their own yet.  

The FBI is expected to search former Vice President Mike Pence's Indiana home for more classified documents 'in a matter of days,' NBC News reported Monday
