No visitor logs from Biden home where classified files found: WH – By Al Jazeera and News Agencies (Al Jazeera) / Jan 16, 2023
White House lawyers say Biden’s ‘personal residence is personal’ after Republicans demand more information about searches.
No visitor logs exist for the residence of US President Joe Biden where files with classified markings were recently uncovered, the White House’s legal counsel has said, after Republicans demanded that such records be released.
“Like every President across decades of modern history, his personal residence is personal,” the White House Counsel’s office said in a statement on Monday.
“But upon taking office, President Biden restored the norm and tradition of keeping White House visitors logs, including publishing them regularly, after the previous administration ended them.”
The Republican chairman of the House Oversight Committee had demanded visitor logs for Biden’s house in Wilmington, Delaware after classified documents were found in the Democratic president’s office and garage.
