WASHINGTON: A newspaper is reporting that Vice President Mike Pence used a private e-mail account to conduct public business as Indiana’s governor.
The Indianapolis Star reports that e-mails provided through a public records request show that Pence communicated with advisers through his personal AOL account.
Public officials are not barred from using personal e-mail accounts under Indiana law. The law is interpreted to mean that any official business conducted on private e-mail must be retained to comply with public record laws.
The vice president’s spokesman, Marc Lotter, says Pence “maintained a state e-mail account and a personal e-mail account” like previous Indiana governors.
As Donald Trump’s running mate, Pence frequently criticized rival Hillary Clinton’s use of a private e-mail server as secretary of state.
