The National Archives asked former U.S. presidents and vice presidents to re-check their personal records for any classified documents
This comes after the discovery of such documents in the possession of former President Donald Trump, President Joe Biden and former Vice President Mike Pence.
The National Archives and Records Administration, or NARA, sent a letter to representatives of former presidents and vice presidents from the last six presidential administrations covered by the Presidential Records Act (PRA).
Documents marked as classified were discovered at Pence’s Indiana home last week.
Biden, whose documents dated from his time as vice president and senator, and Trump, who resisted turning over the items, leading to an FBI raid, are both facing special counsel investigations by the Justice Department over improper handling of classified materials.
Trump’s handling of the records is also under federal criminal investigation.
