But who he\u2019s hanging out with there is apparently top secret.<\/p>\n<p>White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said Wednesday that Biden will not release any visitor logs on whom he meets with in Delaware \u2014 even though he claimed his administration would &nbsp;\u201crestore transparency and trust in government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe President\u2019s been to Delaware 17 times \u2014 it\u2019s soon going to be 18 and 19 times \u2014 over the past six months,\u201d a reporter said to Psaki during the daily briefing. \u201cI want to know how visits from visitors and from family members with potential conflicts of interest are being treated for the purposes of White House visitor log disclosure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI can confirm we are not going to be providing information about the comings and goings of the president\u2019s grandchildren or people visiting him in Delaware,\u201d Psaki said.<\/p>\n<p>Government watchdogs groups criticized the move, with one saying it \u201cmakes a mockery\u201d of White House claims of visitor log transparency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s an easy way to bypass the alleged transparency they\u2019re promising,\u201d&nbsp;Tom Fitton, president of the conservative group Judicial Watch, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/biden-wont-release-delaware-visitor-logs-despite-17-trips-home\">told<\/a> the New York Post. \u201cIf they\u2019re going to take the position that this information should be public, what are they hiding when it comes to visiting his home? The presidency doesn\u2019t stop when he\u2019s visiting Delaware.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is presumably doing work. So the public has an interest in knowing who is visiting him there. Is Hunter [Biden] visiting him? \u2026 [Joe Biden] is the one who had Hunter at the vice president\u2019s office meeting with his business partners,\u201d Fitton said.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration had patted itself on the back for resuming the practice of releasing visitor logs, at least partially. \u201cThese logs give the public a look into the visitors entering and exiting the White House campus for appointments, tours, and official business \u2014 making good on President Biden\u2019s commitment to restore integrity, transparency, and trust in government,\u201d Biden\u2019s press office <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/briefing-room\/disclosures\/2021\/05\/07\/biden-harris-administration-reinstates-visitor-log-policy-will-be-first-administration-to-post-records-from-first-full-year-in-office\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">said<\/a> in May.<\/p>\n<p>In the daily White House briefing, a reporter also asked two other questions about transparency.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was hoping that you could respond to Walter Shaub\u2019s criticism of the First Son\u2019s art sales.&nbsp; He says he wants to \u2014 \u2018shame on the president if he doesn\u2019t ask his son to stop.\u2019 What exactly has the president said to his son?\u201d the reporter said. \u201cAnd the third question is: What spacing constraints are there in the White House East Room that are preventing us all from attending the event later today, especially considering there are no spacing constraints in this room?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWell, one, I think we wanted to make it as transparent as possible and make the entire meeting available to everyone who isn\u2019t just in this room, so we are actually not discriminating against people who are covering the White House from outside of the White House briefing room,\u201d Psaki said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSecond, I would say, we \u2014 we have spoken extensively to the arrangements, which are not White House arrangements; they\u2019re arrangements between Hunter Biden\u2019s representatives and ones that we, certainly, were made aware of.&nbsp; I don\u2019t think I have anything to add in that regard,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
