Mike Pence’s Carmel, Indiana home
The National Archives last week asked former presidents and vice presidents to review their records for classified material.
“The responsibility to comply with the PRA does not diminish after the end of the regime,” the letter says. “Therefore, we request that you conduct an evaluation of any material relating to the administration in which you act as a designated representative under the PRA, whether presidential or vice presidential records subject to the PRA, classified or unclassified, to determine whether they may inadvertently contain bodies of material previously thought to be personal in nature.
“The archives sent the letter to representatives of former presidents Trump, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George HW Bush and Ronald Reagan, and former vice presidents Pence, Biden, Dick Cheney, Al Gore and Don Quayle.” CNN reported.
The letter sent to the former president and vice president comes after Mike Pence ‘discovered’ classified documents at his Carmel, Indiana home.
