Leaked documents are continuing to get attention: Five previously unreported leaked US intelligence documents claim Egypt agreed to not supply rockets to Russia and instead produce artillery shells for Ukraine following US diplomatic intervention, the Washington Post reports. The Egyptian government denied earlier reports of a first document detailing an alleged plan to sell arms to Russia. The Post says all the documents are part of the massive leak of US intelligence files that surfaced on social media channels earlier this month. Meanwhile, in an op-ed in the Hill, American Enterprise Institute Senior Fellow Danielle Pletka is calling on Washington to rethink its military aid program to Egypt following the allegations.
