The “double standard” after classified documents were found at the Penn Biden Center, where President Joe Biden kept an office, is “troubling,” as he should face the same scrutiny under a special counsel as former President Donald Trump, former Vice President Mike Pence said Tuesday, Newsmax reports.

“Equal treatment in the law is at the very center of the expectation of the American people and of our history and our tradition,” Pence told talk show host Hugh Hewitt. “What did the Biden administration say — they were going to tap someone appointed in the Trump administration to take a look at it while President Trump faces down a special counsel? … It’s deeply troubling to me.”

The FBI’s “massive outreach” in August during the raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate was the “original sin,” said Pence.

“I served on the Judiciary Committee for the better part of 11 years in the Congress of the United States,” said Pence. “I believe the rank-and-file of the FBI are some of the best men and women in this country. But the decision by the senior leadership of the Justice Department to execute a search warrant against a former president of the United States was wrong. It was an overreach.”
