Lotter said Pence "maintained a state email account and a personal email account" like previous governors in the state.
Vice President Mike Pence used a private email account to conduct public business as Indiana`s governor, his spokesman confirmed late Thursday.
Emails involving state email accounts are captured on the state`s servers, but any emails that Pence may have sent from his AOL account to another private account would need to be retained.
The state requires all records pertaining to state business to be retained and available for public information requests.
Public officials are not barred from using personal email accounts under Indiana law, but the law is interpreted to mean that any official business conducted on private email must be retained to comply with public record laws.
