House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) is asking for visitor logs from President Biden’s Delaware residences after classified documents were discovered in the garage and one other room of his Wilmington home.
Number 3 House Republican Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) is also calling for the release of the visitor logs, saying “every American deserves transparency.”
“We already know Hunter Biden and his illegal ties and relationships with outside entities have threatened US national security, and House Republicans are leading the effort for accountability,” Stefanik said. “Now, we must know why this administration continues to obstruct the truth on whether anyone else is influencing this administration.”
“Every American deserves transparency on who is meeting with this president — especially as he has continued to hide from them in his basement in Delaware,” she added. “House Republicans are committed to a government that is accountable, and we will conduct critical oversight into the entire Biden Crime Family.”
From The New York Post:
White House spokespeople have defended Biden’s decision not to release visitor information, arguing in part that they mostly would show “the comings and goings of the president’s grandchildren.”
Presidents can pick and choose what they reveal about White House visitor logs thanks to a 2013 DC Circuit appeals court ruling written by then-Judge Merrick Garland, who now serves as Biden’s attorney general. Garland wrote for a three-judge panel that the president’s constitutional right to confidential communications means that FOIA doesn’t apply to visitor logs kept by the Secret Service — even though they otherwise would seem to meet the definition of “agency records.”
Garland’s ruling on White House visitor logs, however, has not been ratified by the Supreme Court, meaning that federal courts outside of DC are able to rule differently. The ruling also said nothing about Congress obtaining the records as part of its oversight duties.

When asked why he met with Mr. Biden in his Wilmington, Delaware garage, a high ranking foreign official told reporters: “I’m an avid collector of vintage automobiles, I was interested in purchasing Mr. Biden’s corvette.”
When asked why he and Mr. Biden were seen sifting through some classified materials inside the garage, the foreign official told reporters: “I did not know those documents were classified materials, I thought they were part of the owner’s manual that came with the car.”
When asked if the words “nuclear capabilities” in the documents didn’t raise concerns with him, and whether it was humanely possible for him to believe he was sifting through an owner’s manual that discusses nuclear capabilities, the foreign official told reporters” “Are you kidding me?! That was one of the draws for me to purchase this specific car! I mean, I’ve never seen a car with a nuclear powered engine! That car can probably accelerate up to 70,000 miles an hour!”
They actually have visitor logs but they’re being translated from Chinese.
I slept like a log.
