DOJ Closes Investigation into Pence's Handling of Classified Documents, Clears Him of Criminal Charges

Pence's team found a small number of classified documents in boxes at his Indiana home and notified authorities.
The Justice Department investigated but found no evidence Pence intentionally mishandled the documents.
The decision comes ahead of Pence announcing his 2024 presidential campaign next week.
Trump claimed Pence is "as innocent as" him but experts note major differences in the two cases.
Separate investigations into Trump and Biden's handling of classified records are ongoing.
