Gingrich, a contributor to The Epoch Times, tried to draw a line differentiating the Pence files to those found with Biden, noting that the former vice president had started the search on his own initiative following the series of classified material discoveries in Biden’s private office and home.
“Obviously, people have gotten very sloppy about documents that were secret,” He said this in an interview. Pence requested his lawyers to look through the documents, unlike Biden, which kept the news secret for several months and only made it public in January. “promptly” Gingrich stated that they turned over the evidence.
“So I don’t think anybody’s going to suggest the level of confusion we had both with Mar-a-Largo and with President Biden.”
Pence was previously denied having retained any classified materials when he left office—both after the FBI raided former President Donald Trump’s Florida resort over his handling of classified information and earlier this month after the White House acknowledged the finding of classified records at the University of Pennsylvania’s Penn Biden Center Washington.
“Our staff reviewed all of the materials in our office and in our residence to ensure that there were no classified materials that left the White House or remained in our possession,” Pence stated to CBS that he had spoken with him on Jan. 10. His lawyer said the subsequent discovery of more files at Biden’s home prompted a more thorough review.
In Biden’s case, classified documents were first found on Nov. 2 at the Penn Biden Center where Biden had a personal office after his term as vice president under the Obama administration. Follow-up searches uncovered more documents on Dec. 20 in the garage of Biden’s Wilmington home, and then in the same property on Jan. 11, Jan. 12, and Jan. 20.
Jacob stated that Pence was “unaware of the existence of sensitive or classified documents at his personal residence” Before the search, he hired outside counsel to review records at his Indiana home. “out of an abundance of caution.” Two boxes containing records bearing classified markings were found in the search, as well as two additional boxes. “courtesy copies of vice presidential papers,” According to the attorney.
Pence in Spotlight, Now

Trump, on one hand, defended Pence“He said that he “is an innocent man” Who “never did anything knowingly dishonest in his life.”

Gingrich pointed to questions around these documents, the tens of millions of dollars in Chinese funding to the University of Pennsylvania over the past few years, and a possible connection to the president’s son Hunter Biden, who engaged in foreign business dealings while Biden was the vice president.
“I think that Biden will find that this just keeps growing and that it’s very, very different qualitatively from Mike Pence,” He stated.
It has been maintained by the Penn Biden Center “never solicited or received any gifts from any Chinese or other foreign entity,” But Gingrich said He would remain skeptical in the absence of knowing the funding sources of both universities.
“The Biden team has been very secretive,” He stated. “I find it amazing that they can have these multimillion-dollar relationships at the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Delaware, and never be forced to tell people where the money comes from, who did it go to, etc. I mean, it is just an astonishing level of influence peddling.”
Gingrich is seeking answers to many questions regarding the unfolding disclosures of classified files. The public should be informed about the nature the documents without violating secrecy. “whether or not they’re related to something that Chinese communists want to see,” And “why it might have been worthwhile to take them out.”
