DEMS want White House to be more “transparent” – PB/TK
Democrats introduce MAR-A-LAGO Act for Trump visitor logs – By 3/24/17
Democrats are introducing a bill that would require the publication of visitor logs at the White House or any other place President Trump visits.
The kicker is the bill’s acronym is the MAR-A-LAGO Act, which is the name of Trump’s resort in Palm Springs, Fla., where he has stayed on several weekends since becoming president. It stands for the “Making Access Records Available to Lead American Government Openness Act.”
One of the five Democrats to introduce a House and Senate version, Sen. Tom Udall, D-Utah, said in a tweet on Friday: “Americans deserve transparency from their government. Our MAR-A-LAGO Act will require disclosure of visitor logs at WH & Trump properties.”
“Given [Trump’s] unprecedented move to conduct gov’t business at his private biz properties, WH has an obligation to make visitor logs public, he added. “By refusing to release WH visitor logs, [Trump] is only validating rampant concerns about who’s pulling the levers in his administration.”
