The Justice Department is closing its investigation into classified documents found at the home of former Vice President Mike Pence. No charges will be filed.

An adviser to Pence says they are pleased but not surprised at the end of the federal probe.

Two sources confirm the Justice Department sent a letter to Pence saying the investigation would close without any finding of criminal wrongdoing.
