Former US vice-president Mike Pence has said he did not take any classified information with him when he left office.

The disclosure would typically be unremarkable but is notable given that FBI agents seized classified and top secret information from former president Donald Trump’s Florida estate earlier this month while investigating potential violations of three different federal laws.
