White House Counsel’s Office Responds to House Republicans’ Demand for Information on Misplaced Biden Documents

House Republicans have been pushing for the White House to turn over all information related to misplaced classified documents from former Vice President Joe Biden’s time in office. This includes any visitors logs to Biden’s private residence and who might have had access to his private office in Washington, DC, where the first batch of documents were discovered in early November.

In response, the White House counsel’s office released a statement Monday morning noting that, like every President across decades of modern history, Biden’s personal residence is personal. The statement also noted that upon taking office, President Biden restored the norm and tradition of keeping White House visitors logs, including publishing them regularly.

The White House counsel’s office also clarified that it isn’t standard practice for the White House to keep visitor logs of presidents’ personal homes. This means that the White House does not keep visitor logs for President Biden’s personal residences.

The White House has yet to comment on the House Republicans’ demands for information. It is unclear if the White House will comply with the request or if the documents will remain private. The situation is ongoing and further updates are expected in the coming days.
