The Biden-Harris administration plans to release White House visitor logs as soon as president-elect takes office, transition spokesman Jen Psaki said Friday.
Why it matters: President Trump’s White House kept core office visitor logs private, a move that was heavily criticized and faced legal challenges for its lack of transparency. Biden’s decision is a return to the policies of the Obama administration, which archived and published its logs, per Politico.
What she says: “To be clear, the Biden-Harris Administration will revert to its policy of releasing White House visitor logs,” Psaki tweeted.
- Of interest: “It is also true that visitors will be limited for some time as safety is a top priority during the pandemic,” she added, referring to the new government’s COVID precautions.
