Mar-a-Lago Visitor Logs to Be Released Due to Lawsuit – By Ryan Bort / July 17 2017
The Trump administration has done much to shroud itself from public view. Cameras have been banned from press conferences. Journalists from prominent news outlets have been barred from attending briefings. The visitor logs from the White House, Trump Tower and Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s “winter White House” in Palm Beach, Florida, have not been made public.
Now, the latter effort to avoid transparency has been at least partially thwarted. Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) on Monday announced that on September 8 it will obtain the visitor logs from Mar-a-Lago and subsequently make them public.
Access to Mar-a-Lago’s visitor logs comes by way of a lawsuit filed in April against the Department of Homeland Security. Along with the National Security Archive and the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University, CREW sued the DHS to obtain the visitor records for Mar-a-Lago, the White House and Trump Tower. The lawsuit is still pending in regard to the White House, and the DHS has said it does not have records of visitors to Trump Tower.
“The public deserves to know who is coming to meet with the president and his staff,” CREW’s executive director, Noah Bookbinder, said in a statement. “We are glad as a result of this case, this information will become public for meetings at his personal residences—but it needs to be public for meetings at the White House as well.”
