NBC: Biden aides find second batch of classified documents at new location
On Monday, the White House acknowledged a "small number" of classified documents had been found in an office Biden used.
WASHINGTON — Aides to President Joe Biden have discovered at least one additional batch of classified documents in a location separate from the Washington office he used after leaving the Obama administration, according to a person familiar with the matter.
Since November, after the discovery of documents with classified markings in his former office, Biden aides have been searching for any additional classified materials that might be in other locations he used, said the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to provide details about the ongoing inquiry.
The White House did not reply to a request for comment. The Justice Department had no comment.

Among the items from Joe Biden’s time as vice president discovered in a private office last fall are 10 classified documents including US intelligence memos and briefing materials that covered topics including Ukraine, Iran and the United Kingdom, according to a source familiar with the matter.
Attorney General Merrick Garland has received a preliminary report on the documents inquiry, a law enforcement source said, and now faces the critical decision on how to proceed, including whether to open a full-blown criminal investigation. John Lausch Jr., the US attorney in Chicago, has briefed Garland multiple times.
No additional briefings are scheduled but would be conducted if necessary, a source said.

* Files found at the Penn Biden Center for Diplomacy and Global Engagement

* The Washington D.C. think tank office is a mile away from the White House
* Folders containing the classified documents were said to be in a locked closet
* Merrick Garland has asked U.S. attorney in Chicago to review the 10 documents
* Donald Trump asked: 'When is the FBI going to raid the many homes of Joe Biden, perhaps even the White House?'
Donald Trump on Monday led the chorus of condemnation after it emerged that Joe Biden's think tank had been found to contain classified documents. The ten files were found in early November, by Biden's lawyers, and handed over.
The Justice Department has now opened an investigation, which The New York Times said could lead to a special counsel being appointed - as has happened in the case of Donald Trump and the hundreds of documents he kept at Mar-a-Lago.
Biden on Monday was in Mexico City for a meeting with President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, and refused to answer shouted questions as to how the documents ended up inside the offices.

NYPost: Joe Biden reportedly ‘all in’ and readying launch of 2024 campaign
President Biden is reportedly “all in” on a second run for the White House in 2024 — with an official announcement to come within weeks.
“I think it’s all about timing at this point,” one Biden ally told The Hill Saturday. “It seems like he’s all in. It’s not really ‘if’ he runs anymore.”
The 80-year-old Biden, the oldest president in the nation’s history, would be 82 if he is inaugurated a second time – and 86 by the end of his potential second term.
He and his senior aides are preparing an announcement for release in February around the time of the State of the Union address to Congress, multiple sources told the outlet.

CNN: Jill Biden makes a tidal shift from her thoughts on another run at the White House
First lady Jill Biden, despite being so worn out from a recent circuit of White House events that she lost her voice, is now seriously looking ahead to her husband running for reelection in 2024. That’s a tidal shift from her position just three months ago.
Seven people familiar with Biden’s thinking told CNN that her private conversations about another run now match her publicly enthusiastic persona, as well as the sentiments of President Joe Biden.
The first lady was still mostly skeptical as of early fall – “not a proponent,” as one person familiar with her thinking told CNN. But in the month since the November midterm elections, in which Democrats defied the fate of most parties of first-term presidents, friends noted a change.
Jill Biden is now “all in” on the idea, according to a person who works with the East Wing.

The president on Monday was seen holding a cue card in his left hand as he addressed reporters
* Joe Biden on Monday took questions from the press about the invasion of Ukraine and his declaration that Putin 'cannot remain in power'
* In his left hand, the 79-year-old had a typed cue card with expected questions and prepared answers
* On the remarks about Putin not being fit to leave, Biden insisted: 'I was not articulating a change in policy'
* Rand Paul led the criticism of Biden's reliance on cue cards, telling Fox News that it was like being 'around somebody who's in cognitive decline'
* Paul continued: 'You find yourself trying to help them with a sentence, trying to help them complete it'
Joe Biden was mocked online on Monday for using a printed 'cheat sheet' of answers to expected questions when he faced the media to discuss the Ukraine war.
Biden was in Poland on Saturday and declared in Warsaw that Vladimir Putin 'cannot remain in power' before flying back to Washington, DC.
Asked on Monday about his remarks, which many saw as advocating for regime change, the 79-year-old president referred to a typed cue card for hints.

Jim Geraghty, National Review: The Afghan Army That Biden Said Was ‘More Competent’ Keeps Surrendering and Fleeing
President Joe Biden, July 8: “It’s a silly question. Do I trust the Taliban? No. But I trust the capacity of the Afghan military, who is better trained, better equipped, and more re- — more competent in terms of conducting war.”
The New York Times, this morning: “In a matter of days, the Taliban have overtaken six provincial capitals in a land offensive that has led many local officials to abandon their posts and flee the cities they administer. . . . The scale of the humanitarian crisis is likely to grow in the coming days and weeks, especially as the Taliban extend their reach over more territory.”

WNU Editor: Am I the only one who feels that the White House is clueless on what is happening in Afghanistan?
WNU Editor: For the past few months I have been pondering the idea of starting a blog with only videos of President Biden's glaring mistakes, miscues, and obvious errors. I definitely know I will have enough content to be posting everyday.
But I know what dementia is. My mother is suffering from it and I must face her suffering everyday. I also know there is also a lot of bad karma out there when you ridicule those who are suffering from an illness like dementia, or for that matter any other disease.
But this is an important news story. Joe Biden is the President of the United States. His decisions impacts the lives of everyone, and everyone is looking at him.
And this is why I worry.
The President of the United States needs to be sharp and focus. But President Biden is clearly not showing any of these traits, and what is even more troubling, I have noticed that it is gotten worse since returning from Europe two months ago. Even the foreign press is noticing it (see above video).
Sighhhh ....

NYPost: Psaki says Obama, Biden talk regularly but refuses to say how often
White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Thursday said President Biden and former President Barack Obama talk “regularly” but refused to say how often to avoid “violating” the privacy of their friendship.
The relationship between Biden and his boss of eight years has been a point of intrigue in Washington. Obama lives only about 2 miles from the White House, though Psaki appeared to indicate they speak primarily by phone.
