The discovery of classified material at former Vice President Mike Pence’s Indiana home tests the standard Attorney General Merrick Garland laid out when appointing two special counsels to examine similar breaches by President Biden and former President Donald Trump, citing their likely 2024 presidential runs. Mr. Pence is also considering a White House bid. While Mr. Garland hasn’t said whether he will have a special counsel review documents found at the former vice president’s home, the prospect illuminates the dilemma he now faces in referring politically unpredictable probes to outside prosecutors over whose decisions he has little control.

WASHINGTON—Former Vice President Mike Pence‘s lawyers discovered classified material at his private home, according to a letter his representative sent to the National Archives. Lawyers hired by the former vice president recently discovered “a small number of documents bearing classified markings that were inadvertently boxed and transported” to Mr. Pence’s home, according to a Jan. 18 letter to the National Archives from Gregory Jacob, who oversees Mr. Pence’s records. Mr. Pence was unaware of the existence of the documents, the letter said.

A "small number" of classified documents were discovered last week at former Vice President Mike Pence’s Indiana home, according to two letters Pence’s counsel sent to the National Archives obtained by NBC News on Tuesday. Pence's team “immediately” secured the classified documents in a locked safe, Jacob said. The transfer was facilitated by Pence’s personal attorney, who has experience in handling classified documents and was involved with the Jan. 16 discovery. Pence spokesman Devin O’Malley later told NBC News that “no potential classified documents” were found at the offices of Pence’s organization Advancing American Freedom after Pence’s team searched the offices and the former vice president’s home in Indiana. In a statement Tuesday, Comer said Pence reached out to the panel about classified documents found at his Indiana residence.
