WASHINGTON, June 2 (Reuters) - The U.S. Department of Justice has closed its investigation into former Vice President Mike Pence without filing any charges related to classified documents found in his Indiana home, a department official said on Friday.
The department notified Pence through a letter, the official added.
Representatives for Pence, who served under former Republican President Donald Trump, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Pence's spokesman has said the former vice president has "fully cooperated" with the probe and Pence himself has publicly acknowledged what he called a mistake.
A Justice Department special counsel, Jack Smith, is investigating Trump's handling of classified materials since leaving office in January 2021.
