The Biden-Harris government plans to release White House visitor logs as soon as Elected President Jen Psaki is transitional spokesman said Friday.
Why it matters: President Trump’s White House has kept visitors’ files at church offices private, a move that has been heavily criticized and faced legal challenges due to a lack of transparency. Biden’s decision is a return to the policies pursued during the Obama administration, which archived and released the logs per Politico.
What she says: “For the sake of clarity: the Biden-Harris administration will return to the policy of releasing the White House visitor books,” Psaki tweeted.
- Remarkable: “It is also true that visitors will be restricted for some time, as safety during the pandemic is the highest priority,” she added, referring to the new government’s COVID precautions.
