The discovery of classified documents at former Vice President Mike Pence’s home immediately raised questions at the Justice Department about whether yet another special counsel investigation was in the offing.
For now, the department’s course isn’t clear, people briefed on internal deliberations say. The Pence documents are now the subject of a preliminary review by the Justice Department’s national security division and the FBI. The findings of that review will determine what the Justice Department does next, officials say. No final decision has been made on whether the Pence documents merit another special counsel.
They note Biden and Pence responded similarly to finding government records – by immediately notifying the National Archives, which contrasts with Trump’s months-long refusal to return government documents. Some Biden associates also have pointed out Pence is a likely candidate for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination – further underscoring similarities in their circumstances.
