Former Vice President Mike Pence stated Sunday that he was not aware of any broad efforts by former President Donald Trump to declassify documents, as he was responding to questions about the federal government’s case against the former commander-in-chief.

“There is a process that the White House goes through to declassify materials. I’m aware of that occurring on several cases over the course of our four years,” Mr. Pence said during an interview on ABC News’ “This Week” on Sunday.
