The Biden administration has declined to release virtual visitor logs for the White House after promising to do so during the 2020 campaign season.
President Obama first instituted the practice of releasing visitor logs for the White House, but the Trump administration ceased doing so. While the current administration has made records of in-person visits to the White House available, it has declined to do so for virtual meetings.
“For the sake of clarity—The Biden-Harris Administration will return to the policy of releasing White House visitor logs,” White House press secretary Jen Psaki wrote on Twitter on January 15.
Psaki dismissed the issue on Monday after a reporter asked after the virtual visitor logs during a White House briefing.
“He’s meeting with members of the Senate virtually today,” Psaki said. “There, I’ve released it for you. What else would you like to know?”
Hours before the briefing, White House spokesman Mike Gwin said the Biden administration was committed to transparency in comments to Politico.
“President Biden committed during the campaign to restoring ethics and transparency to government, and in his first weeks in office he’s taken significant steps to deliver on that, including by reinstating the daily press briefing, putting in place sweeping ethics guidelines for the administration, and pledging to regularly release visitor logs again,” Gwin said.
that didn’t take long. it’s not on the same level of rank dishonesty as “if you like your doctor, you can keep him”, but it deserves extra credit for being so quick.
Every commie, regressive and anti-American punk has access to America.
IIRC, The Obama logs were NOT complete.
A President is entitled to keep visitor logs private.
Even after saying that they wouldn’t?......................
Did you really expect them to keep all of their campaign promises?
Never......................
“Mostly, he’s meeting with doctors who are specialists in dementia. But, please, don’t read anything into that.”
Yes, there appears to be no law that requires a president to make visitor logs public, and there is no need for the public to know the names of people on the logs.
Transparency....yeah baby....transparent as a stone wall...

In all fairness, the people who voted for Joe never expected him to keep his promises. They know Democrats have to lie about their intentions, and they’re good with it.
Except when your Democrat Media newspuppet allies are using the fact to beat President Trump over the head.
Lying by omission is still lying...
But they want Trumps financial records??
We’re not supposed to know how often Hunter and his crummy friends get into the WH
And he raised the Chocolate Ration to 20 grams! Praise be to Big Brother!...............................
Then pass a law making White House, as well as Capitol Building and Capitol Office visitor logs public.
There is no law in McMinn County.
Don’t want people to know who’s going there daily and really running the show. Some stealthy people with video cameras or decent phones need to plant themselves near the gates of the barbed wire fence.
