So far, the Trump administration hasn’t yet provided visitor logs at the White House, reports NBC. noted that the “business of the president of the United States is the business of the people of the United States. Americans have long had the right to know who has access and influence in the White House, and this tradition of sunlight on inner workings of the executive branch must continue.”Senate Democrats sent a letter early this month requesting that the administration make Mar-a-Lago visitor logs available, but received no response. The Obama administration began keeping visitor logs at the White House in 2009 — noting the names of 6 million visitors — after a lawsuit by Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington. The Mar-a-Lago bill has little chance of passage in a Republican-controlled legislature, but it serves to underscore to the public the secretive nature of Trump’s meetings within the walls of the private gold resort he owns where memberships cost $200,000.
