Feds Search Mike Pence’s Think Tank For Classified Documents

Federal law enforcement officials conducted a search of former Vice President Mike Pence’s think tank on Friday and reportedly did not find any more documents with classified markings.

The search of Pence’s Advancing American Freedom think tank by law enforcement officials comes after Pence’s legal team found classified documents at his Indiana home last month.

“The Department of Justice today completed a thorough and unrestricted search of Advancing American Freedom’s office for several hours and found no new documents with classified markings,” said Pence spokesman Devin O’Malley. “One binder with approximately three previously redacted documents was taken.”

“The vice president has consistently cooperated with appropriate authorities, has been fully transparent, and looks forward to the imminent conclusion of this matter,” O’Malley added.

After the classified documents were found at Pence’s home last month, the former vice president quickly turned them over to law enforcement officials.

The FBI showed up to former Vice President Mike Pence’s home in Indiana on Friday to search for classified materials after Pence’s legal team found classified documents inside the home last month. Pence’s decision to direct his legal team to search for any classified documents that might have accidentally ended up in his possession comes after classified documents were discovered in President Joe Biden’s office at the Penn Biden Center, a Washington think tank affiliated with the University of Pennsylvania.

Earlier this month, the FBI conducted a search of Pence’s home, where they found more classified material.

“Following the discovery and disclosure of a small number of potentially classified documents that had inadvertently been transported to his home in Indiana, Vice President Pence and his legal team have fully cooperated with the appropriate authorities and agreed to a consensual search of his residence that took place today,” O’Malley said in a statement at the time. “The Department of Justice completed a thorough and unrestricted search of five hours and removed one document with classified markings and six additional pages without such markings that were not discovered in the initial review by the vice president’s counsel.”

O’Malley added that Pence has instructed his legal team to continue cooperating with investigators and to be “fully transparent through the conclusion of this matter.”

Orlando Bloom Calls Parts Of Relationship With Katy Perry ‘Really Challenging,’ But Feels ‘Blessed’ To Have Found Her

Orlando Bloom recently talked about his relationship with fiancé Katy Perry, calling aspects of it “really, really, really challenging,” but saying he feels “blessed” that the two found each other.

The 46-year-old actor opened up with Flaunt magazine about his romance with the “Fireworks” hitmaker and said that being in very different careers can be “challenging.”

“We’re in two very different pools,” Bloom shared with the outlet. “Her pool is not a pool that I necessarily understand, and I think my pool is not a pool that she necessarily understands. Sometimes things are really, really, really, challenging. I won’t lie.”

“We definitely battle with our emotions and creativity, ” he added. “But I think we’re both aware of how blessed we are to have uniquely connected in the way that we did at the time that we did, and there’s definitely never a dull moment.”

Perry and Bloom made headlines when the couple announced they were engaged in 2019 after three years together. The following year, the pandemic sidelined the “Dark Horse” hitmaker’s plans to tie the knot in Japan, Page Six noted.

“It was very sweet,” Perry recounted on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” later. “It was Valentine’s Day … we went to dinner and I thought we were going to go see some art after dinner but we pulled up to a helicopter.”

“We landed on a rooftop [in Los Angeles] — my whole family was there, and all my friends,” she added. “He did so well.”

In August 2020, the couple welcomed their first child together, a daughter, Daisy Dove.

Bloom also shared in the Flaunt interview that one of the challenges the couple faces is distance, like his European shooting schedule for “Carnival Row,” along with his unscripted adventure show for Peacock, E! News noted. In February, Perry returned to Las Vegas for her residency show, Katy Perry: PLAY, the outlet noted.

Bloom was previously married to model Miranda Kerr from 2010-2013, and the pair share a son. Perry and Russell Brand tied the knot in 2010 and divorced two years later.
