😱Biden Aides Have Reportedly Found Second Batch of Classified Docs
Aides to US President Joe Biden reportedly discovered a second trove of classified documents as a federal probe investigates an earlier discovery of classified material at a Biden-linked think tank.
The aides found the second batch of classified materials as part of an effort to search former Biden offices for other documents that need to be turned over to the National Archives and Justice Department, NBC News exclusively reported on Wednesday.
It is unclear how many documents were found in the second batch, when or where they were discovered, the report added.
On Monday, media reported that US Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed a federal prosecutor to review how the first batch of documents ended up at the think-tank office, which Biden lawyers found while vacating the space. The documents relate to Ukraine, Iran and the United Kingdom, the reports said.

Men's Boots Stitched With 'KKK' Removed From Walmart's Online Marketplace
A boot being sold on Walmart Marketplace by a company named Harsuny featured the unfortunate letters “KKK” on each boot. It’s unclear why the boots featured those letters, which are infamously associated with the Klu Klux Klan, an American white supremacist and right-wing terrorist hate group that primarily targeted Black Americans following the Civil War.
CAIR posted a screenshot of the since-removed boots to Twitter, thanking the company for dropping the “oddly/poorly named” boots.

🇷🇺 🇩🇿 Russia can cover 40% of Algeria's milling wheat demand in 2022-2023 season, a grain union's representative says
Russia, in the 2022-2023 agricultural year (from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2023) can cover up to 40 percent of Algeria's demand for milling wheat and supply up to 3.5 million tonnes to that country, analysis department director at the Russian Grain Union, Elena Tyurina, told Sputnik.
"Algeria is a major importer of milling wheat. According to the USDA, in the 2022-2023 agricultural season, it ranks fifth in the world ranking of wheat importers and can buy 8.2 million tonnes of it. And the rejection of French wheat supplies led to Algeria's sharply increased demand for Russian [wheat]," Tyurina said, noting that France, until 2021, was the main supplier of milling wheat to the Algerian market.
