“As a proud daughter of Oakland, it’s always a good day when Dub Nation is at the White House,” Harris wrote on Instagram. “Especially with a trophy in tow.”
The group also met up with former Atlanta mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms.
Warriors star Stephen Curry, who won the Finals MVP award last year, used his time at the White House to thank the Biden administration for helping bring WNBA star Britney Griner home from Russia.
“It means a lot to know that she’s here and all the work that went on behind the scenes to make that a reality,” he said on the podium. “So I just want to say thank you there.”
Curry further added that the visit was a “great opportunity for us from the basketball community to thank President Biden and his staff for all their hard work and diligence on getting Brittney Griner home, who is a big part of our basketball family.”
Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors won the NBA championship last year. As a result, they get to visit the White House. The team had been waiting for the best opportunity to go, and on Tuesday, that’s what they did.
Of course, the Warriors hadn’t been to the White House in a while as they had a feud with Donald Trump. Overall, the Warriors didn’t like him and the feeling was mutual. However, the team respects Joe Biden a whole lot more, which is why they ultimately went and visited him.

Steph Curry Speaks
During his appearance at the White House, Curry actually got to speak in the Press Gallery. Down below, you can see Curry give a speech to reporters that was quite spirited. In fact, Curry thanked President Joe Biden specifically, noting his efforts that helped bring Brittney Griner home.
Griner was released from a Russian prison after 10 months of incarceration. As many already know, the entire NBA world was working hard to bring her home. Consequently, many throughout the basketball fraternity have shown gratitude towards President Biden and his staff.

Steve Kerr also got to speak while Klay Thompson and Moses Moody spoke to staffers. Overall, it seemed like a pretty cool experience for everyone involved, and there is no doubt that the Warriors are eager to go back someday. Curry even said as much in the clip below. Of course, that would require another title, which is easier said than done.
Let us know what you thought of Curry’s speech, in the comments down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for more news from around the sports world.

President Biden stored more classified documents than we previously thought. According to White House attorney Richard Sauber, authorities unearthed five more items following recent discoveries since November of last year. Moreover, Sauber found the documents while he handed over one of the discovered items to the Department of Justice.

Furthermore, this marks the fourth time Biden’s secret docs came to life, which stem from his days under President Obama. First, during November, authorities found some in his personal office in D.C., and additional items in his Delaware home’s garage in December. Meanwhile, an extra search just a couple of days ago resulted in another unearthed document.
While the first discoveries could’ve been anything, the fourth “bust” started to cause some significant concern. According to TMZ, the DoJ has appointed a special counsel to discuss these documents and their implications. Even though the White House didn’t provide the most clear answer, they maintained that the documents were misplaced with no deeper intent.
“He was surprised that the records were found,” said White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre when asked about them. “He does not know what’s in them. That has not changed.”
“He was surprised that the records were found,” White House press sec. Karine Jean-Pierre says when pressed by @MaryKBruce about classified documents found at Pres. Biden’s Wilmington home.
Meanwhile, the current Commander-in-Chief has addressed some documents, but not all the discoveries. Moreover, many criticized his administration for not bringing news of these discoveries to light when they were immediately conducted. In fact, the first “bust” occurred before the midterm elections in 2022. However, his legal team stood by their actions and said they were balancing transparency with the integrity of a DoJ probe. They were already looking into the files before they instated this week’s special counsel.
As representatives and Joe Biden himself have said, the nature, content, or motive of storage of these documents is unknown as of writing this article. Given their classified nature, authorities called on the DoJ and National Archives officials to retrieve each batch of items.
Also, these developments have angered Republicans, who see parallels between Biden’s secret stashes and former President Trump’s mishandling of documents. While many are distinguishing Biden’s apparent honest mistake from Trump’s deliberate obfuscation, the difference is harder to identify with each new batch found. Still, Trump has bigger legal fish to fry at the moment, and a whole lot of taxes to pay.
What do you think of these new classified documents allegedly misplaced harmlessly by President Joe Biden? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, check back in with HNHH for updates on the biggest stories in politics and beyond.
The White House is giving a health update about First Lady Jill Biden. Unbeknownst to many, Biden underwent surgery today (January 11) to remove three lesions—two that were diagnosed as cancerous.
NPR reported President Joe Biden was also by his wife’s side as he joined her at the Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Further, he was there for approximately eight hours and only left after Dr. Kevin O’Connor offered a public update about the First Lady’s recovery.

“The First Lady is experiencing some facial swelling and bruising, but is in good spirits and is feeling well,” said the president’s physician.
O’Connor’s update was also shared on social media, where he detailed a play-by-play of the surgical procedure. Jill Biden is reportedly expected to return home sometime today.

“The procedure confirmed that the small lesion was a basal cell carcinoma,” O’Connor wrote about Biden’s surgery on her face. “All cancerous tissue was successfully removed, and the margins were clear of any residual skin cancer cells. We will monitor the area closely as it heals, but do not anticipate any more procedures will be needed.”
Additionally, the third lesion was extracted from “the left side of the First Lady’s chest.”
Kim Kardashian says that she “hated” the way she felt while visiting the White House in 2018. Kardashian reflected on the trip during her recent appearance on the Angie Martinez IRL Podcast.
“I hated how I felt when I went into the White House for the first time and I didn’t know half of anything that they were saying – like all of the clemency talk, and all the attorney lingo and everything that they were talking about,” she said. “I literally was sitting there, like texting my attorney that was next to me.”

Kardashian went to the White House to meet with then-President Donald Trump on behalf of Alice Marie Johnson. Trump later commuted Johnson’s sentence. She had been handed a life sentence in 1996 over nonviolent drug charges.
“I was to the point where I didn’t even know like all of the abbreviations in the White House, so they were like okay this person at the DOJ, and I was like ‘What is the DOJ?’” she continued, before adding, “And my attorney was like, come on Department of Justice and she kept texting me all this stuff but I was never too embarrassed to ask.”
Kardashian added: “I think that sometimes like you go into something and you like I should know all this stuff.”
The White House eventually invited Kardashian back to further discuss clemency.
Kardashian recently studied to receive a law degree. She says that her late father, attorney Robert Kardashian, would be proud of her efforts.
Check out Kim Kardashian’s appearance on the Angie Martinez IRL Podcast below. Elsewhere in the interview, she discussed her relationship with Kanye West.

There is a shift at the White House. The Director of Digital Engagement in the Office of Digital Strategy, Cameron Trimble, will be moving on.
Trimble led inclusive digital engagement efforts, including notable cultural figures such as DJ D-Nice, Tyra Banks, and Mark Ruffalo. Those digital campaigns helped The White House amplify messages and promoted engagement-focused Covid vaccinations. Trimble’s work also was instrumental in the nomination of Justice Kentaji Brown Jackson and in sourcing virtual channels to reach millions of people.

Trimble was the Deputy Digital Director for the first-ever virtual presidential inauguration before joining the Biden administration. In his administration role, Trimble and other team members were in charge of bringing together the first-ever digital partnerships to stream the inauguration ceremonies across more than 50 different digital outlets. The result was the largest virtual audience ever for a presidential inauguration.
Trimble joined the Biden-Harris campaign in the summer of 2020, during the general election, before working on the presidential inauguration. He oversaw one of the largest voter registration drives in political history. Trimble also supervised the African American paid media operation, which spent almost $60 million to reach Black voters.
Trimble has also worked as a senior adviser to Congresswoman Eddie Bernice Johnson (D-TX), the House Science and Technology Committee chairwoman on Capitol Hill.
