Mike Pence avoids charges as DOJ drops classified documents investigation

Former Vice President Mike Pence will not face any charges in regards to the classified documents found at this home, CNN reported.

The Department of Justice's closing of its investigation comes just before Pence's planned announcement next week that he's running for president in 2024.

In January, Pence’s attorney found about a dozen classified documents in the former vice president's Indiana home after a search that was prompted by the disclosure of classified documents in Joe Biden’s possession in Delaware. Pence turned over the documents to the FBI following after they were discovered.

Former President Donald Trump is currently being investigated by the Justice Department for classified documents that were found at this Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, with many analysts convinced charges are imminent.
