Biden won’t release Delaware visitor logs despite 17 trips home

From Fox News.com (Aug. 11):

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Wednesday that President Biden won’t release visitor logs from his Delaware residences, despite making 17 trips home in six months.

The decision comes despite the Biden administration’s claim to "restore transparency and trust in government" — including with the resumption of limited release of White House visitor logs.

"I can confirm we are not going to be providing information about the comings and goings of the president’s grandchildren or people visiting him in Delaware," Psaki said at her daily press briefing in response to a question from The Post about whether Biden would release visitor logs, including of relatives with potential conflicts of interest.

Transparency advocates say that the same logic that applies to White House visitor logs applies to records of who’s visiting Biden at his homes.

Tom Fitton, president of the conservative group Judicial Watch, told The Post that the policy "makes a mockery" of White House claims of visitor log transparency.

"It’s an easy way to bypass the alleged transparency they’re promising," Fitton said.

"If they’re going to take the position that this information should be public, what are they hiding when it comes to visiting his home? The presidency doesn’t stop when he’s visiting Delaware," Fitton added.

"He is presumably doing work. So the public has an interest in knowing who is visiting him there. Is Hunter [Biden] visiting him? … [Joe Biden] is the one who had Hunter at the vice president’s office meeting with his business partners."

The links between the elder Biden and his son’s business ventures often are murky. For example, it’s unclear whether they discussed about an upcoming art sale in which the first son hopes to fetch as much as $500,000 from anonymous buyers for his novice artworks. Hunter Biden also still owns a 10 percent stake in a Chinese investment fund formed with state-owned entity, according to recent reports. [read more]

I wonder why Brandon won’t release the logs? Maybe because he is taking a lot of naps?
