Associates of US President Joe Biden have discovered another set of classified documents from his time as vice president under Obama, NBC News reports.
The disclosure comes just two days after the White House admitted that 10 classified documents were found in a former Biden office last fall.
Several of the documents were classified as top secret and are said to have contained information about intelligence sources.
Attorney General Merrick Garland has requested that prosecutors review the documents and how they ended up astray.
Biden is now receiving massive criticism as he previously criticized Donald Trump for similar handling of top secret documents.
The White House has yet to comment on finding number two. The documents have been found in a different location than the first set.
By law, all documents must be sent to the National Archives when a president or vice president leaves office.

The police cordon off outside the pub and will carry out a technical investigation.

It has never been as warm in the seas as it was last year.
This is shown by a recent study which The Guardian reports on.
The temperature of the sea surface has a great influence on the weather in the world. Warmer seas increase the risk of strong hurricanes and typhoons and add more moisture to the air, leading to heavier rain and flooding.
– Making measurements over the oceans is the most accurate way to determine how unbalanced our planet is, says one of the researchers, Professor John Abraham at the University of St Thomas in Minnesota.
According to the study, the oceans are now the warmest they have been in 1,000 years – and are warming faster than at any time in the last 2,000 years.

Do we trust Paasikivi too much?
Leif
Difficult to answer Leif.
Lieutenant Colonel Joakim Paasikivi has a solid education and experience in the military, so he should be aware of the facts.
When it comes to analysis, he has a good foundation to stand on, but of course he can be wrong too. Just like everyone else.
If I say that Sweden is more of a NATO member country than Turkey, am I wrong then in reality in reality?
Mikael

What does an unpaid intern at TV4 expect, maybe not to clean but maybe not to be in the limelight either Or what do you think at AB, should you send out an intern on the “heavy” assignments? But you never answer, so we won’t know

Hey! The review shows that the production company Mastiff described the job as working with the television production itself, but that the reality was different. So it depends on what you promise. For example, if we have a trainee reporter, you will at least get to be a reporter. And as far as I know, they usually enjoy it.
Why does Tove’s investigation feel so strange? Long periods of detention for the girls who are in custody, the police being extremely secretive about the circumstances and a what feels like an unusual investigation? Can you boil down the circumstances so that you keep up with where you are now in the process?
