Watchdog groups sought presidential visitor logs for Mar-a-Lago. They finally got a response — 22 names.


Of course, that's not the full list of visitors to Mar-a-Lago. The government believes that Presidential schedule information is not subject to” a Freedom of Information Act request, said a letter from two top Justice Department officials, which the watchdog group released Friday. The watchdog groups were already suing the Department of Homeland Security — which includes the Secret Service — for failure to release visitor logs at both the White House and Mar-a-Lago. The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Washington Post. The Obama administration did release its logs, after a series of lawsuits from Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington.
