BREAKING NEWS: White House counsel’s office says it has NO visitor logs for Biden’s Wilmington home where classified documents were discovered because it is a ‘personal residence’
No visitor records exist for President Joe Biden’s private home in Delaware, where six classified documents were found, the White House announced Monday.
The White House Counsel’s Office impressed that the president’s Greenville home is “personal” and as such, there would be no recordings available of who comes and goes.
It comes after a growing chorus of Republican lawmakers have called for visitor logs to Biden’s private home and a Washington, DC-area think tank, where classified documents were also found.
The Penn Biden Center was used by Biden as a personal office from about 2017 until he launched his 2020 campaign.
Biden’s personal lawyers reportedly found ten top-secret pages there while cleaning out the office. Six so far have been found at his Wilmington-area home.
President Joe Biden’s White House revealed that no public visitor records were kept at his Wilmington, Delaware, residence.
“Like every president in decades of modern history, his personal residence is a personal one,” the White House Attorney’s Office told Fox News.
“But upon taking office, President Biden restored the norm and tradition of keeping White House visitor logs, including periodicals, after they were terminated by the previous administration.”
DailyMail.com has contacted the White House for confirmation.
Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed special counsel to oversee Biden’s handling of classified documents after documents dated his vice presidency were first discovered on November 2, 2022 at the Penn Biden Center.
The initial 10 were found among Biden’s personal belongings in a closet when private attorneys were clearing out the president’s former office.
Subsequent searches first revealed one more page found at Biden’s Delaware home, and then on Saturday officials admitted that five additional pages were recovered from there as well.
The president has vowed to take the matter “seriously” and cooperate with the National Archives and the Department of Justice every step of the way.
But questions are still mounting about why the White House took so long to admit the existence of the documents, what it did after CBS News first broke the story about the Penn Biden Center, and who might have had access to the documents. at Biden’s house.
House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer sent a letter to Biden’s chief of staff Ron Klain on Sunday demanding access to visitor logs kept for the Delaware home.
In the letter, Comer accused Biden of “mishandling classified materials, which raises the question of whether he has endangered our national security.”
“Without a list of the people who visited your residence, the American people will never know who had access to these highly confidential documents,” the Kentucky Republican wrote.
Comer also questioned whether anyone with “foreign connections” had access to the documents, likely in reference to the president’s son, Hunter Biden. Hunter’s foreign business dealings in China and Ukraine have been under scrutiny for years, and he, too, is under investigation by the US attorney in Delaware for possible financial fraud.
