Pence made the comment a week and a half after the FBI seized classified information during a search at former President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate. Asked if he retained any classified information, Pence said: “No, not to my knowledge.” The disclosure, which would typically be unremarkable for a former Vice President, is notable given that FBI agents took 11 sets of classified records from his former boss’s estate on August 8 while probing potential violations of three different federal laws. — AP
