A federal judge overseeing the election interference case against former President Donald Trump has directed prosecutors to search for and provide any Justice Department information related to a separate investigation into former Vice President Mike Pence's handling of classified documents. Trump's lawyers argued that this information could be relevant to their defense, suggesting that Pence may have had an incentive to implicate Trump while facing his own investigation.
The special counsel's team stated they had no involvement in the Pence investigation beyond what has been publicly reported. However, the judge ordered them to search for any additional records on the investigation, noting that evidence of a witness's uncharged conduct could impact their credibility.
