FBI conducts search of Mike Pence’s home for classified documents

CBS News has learned former President Donald Trump's legal team has turned over additional classified material which was discovered last month at his Mar-a-Lago home. This development comes as FBI agents found another classified document during a planned search of former Vice President Mike Pence's Indiana home. Pence, who is mulling over his own presidential bid, may have to testify against his former boss. He's been subpoenaed by the Justice Department's special counsel investigating Trump's alleged effort to overturn the 2020 election results. Robert Costa has more on this. Local police blocked the driveway, leading to the Pence family home as FBI officials conducted an exhaustive five-hour search, leaving with one document with classified markings and six additional pages. Pence and his family were traveling in California.

His team fully cooperated with the search, which came weeks after around 12 classified documents were found in the residence last month. The former Vice President, who is considering a 2024 presidential bid, told CBS in early January he took no classified documents when leaving office. There were no classified materials that left the White House or remained in our possession. But days later, a personal aide did find documents in his home. Mistakes were made. And I take full responsibility. For Pence, it's just the latest interaction with the Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith investigating former President Trump's efforts to overturn the election, wants to hear from Pence under oath about the pressure campaign he faced from Trump.

And I hope Mike is going to do the right thing. I hope so. Trump's relentless pleas for Pence to block the certification of the election and his refusal to do so, spark fury among some Trump supporters on January 6. The president's words and actions in and around January 6 were reckless. Of interest to the special counsel, sources said his Pence is reportedly in intense meeting with Trump in the Oval Office on the eve of the Capitol attack, when Trump was trying to cling to power. But it's unclear how exactly Pence will handle the special counsel's subpoena and whether Trump will try to block Pence's potential testimony by citing executive privilege when it comes to private discussions. And it's worth noting that Pence's top eight have already both cooperated with the Justice Department's investigation into January 6.

And sources tell us Pence's team is now waiting to see whether former President Trump will try to block the former vice president from doing the same. For CBS Saturday morning, Robert Costa, Washington.
