White House counsel: No visitor logs for Biden Delaware home

The White House says no visitor logs exist for President Biden’s private residence near Wilmington, Delaware, where classified documents were found, after House Republicans called for the release of such records.

“Like every President across decades of modern history, his personal residence is personal,” the White House Counsel’s office said in a statement to numerous news outlets on Monday.

“But upon taking office, President Biden restored the norm and tradition of keeping White House visitors logs, including publishing them regularly, after the previous administration ended them,” it added.

The revelation comes after Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.), the chair of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, called on the administration to release the visitor logs from the Delaware home as Republicans heats up their inquiry into Biden’s handling of Obama-era classified documents.

“Given the serious national security implications, the White House must provide the Wilmington residence’s visitor log,” Comer wrote in a letter to Biden’s chief of staff, Ron Klain.

Biden’s legal team has said it has found classified documents dating back to Biden’s time as vice president at the Delaware home as well as a Washington think tank.

Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Robert Hur last week to be the special counsel that investigates the issue for the Department of Justice (DOJ). Republicans have sounded the alarm that Biden’s handling of classified information could have jeopardized the country’s national security — a concern that Comer communicated to Klain in the letter.

Comer also requested all documents and communications related to the search of Biden’s properties and other locations where classified documents were found. He also wants the identity of the Biden aides who conducted the searches.

Former President Trump, who is also under investigation for his handling of classified information, reacted to the latest development, saying in a social media post on Monday “Maybe they are smarter than we think!”

“The White House just announced that there are no LOGS or information of any kind on visitors to the Wilmington house and flimsy, unlocked, and unsecured, but now very famous, garage,” Trump said in the post.

As the DOJ investigation and congressional inquiries begin, the White House has been adamant that administration officials have cooperated fully with law enforcement.

Contagious Syndrome: How Clinton & Obama Used to Mishandle Classified Docs Akin to Biden

Democrat lawmakers have acknowledged that the discovery of US President Joe Biden's classified documents was an "embarrassment." However, it's not the first time a high-ranking Democratic official has jeopardized national security, Wall Street analyst and investigative journalist Charles Ortel told Sputnik.

Joe Biden's aides have discovered three batches of classified documents from his days as vice president, all stored at unsecured locations for quite a while. The unfolding scandal resembles nothing so much as the Hillary Clinton emailgate, according to Charles Ortel, a Wall Street analyst and investigative journalist.

On July 5, 2016, then-FBI Director James Comey revealed that from the group of 30,000 emails returned by Hillary Clinton to the State Department, 110 in 52 email chains had been determined to contain "classified" information at the time they were sent or received. Moreover, eight of those chains contained information that was "top secret" at the time they were sent, according to Comey.

Thirty-six chains contained "secret" information at the time when they were sent and eight contained "confidential" information. In addition, the FBI also discovered several thousand work-related emails that were not in the group of 30,000 returned by the former secretary of state in 2014. At least three of them were "classified" at the time they were sent or received: one at the "secret level" and two at the "confidential level," as per the then-FBI director.

"Although we did not find clear evidence that Secretary Clinton or her colleagues intended to violate laws governing the handling of classified information, there is evidence that they were extremely careless in their handling of very sensitive, highly classified information," Comey stated, adding, however, that "no reasonable prosecutor would bring such a case."

Meanwhile, an FBI Vault of documents concerning the bureau's investigation into Hillary Clinton's use of a private email server shows, in particular, that the former secretary of state and her aide on one occasion left Clinton's classified briefing book in a Russian hotel suit.

Another set of FBI files shed light on a mysterious whistleblower's complaint to FBI Director Comey in January 2016 about the mishandling of classified diplomatic materials by Hillary Clinton, her aides, and her staff working for the Clinton Foundation.

To cap it off, Hillary admitted publicly in 2015 that she deleted tens of thousands of emails from her private email server under the pretext that they were not work-related.

According to Ortel, these missing documents could potentially contain information about Hillary's "pay-to-play" schemes involving the Clintons' charity and foreign players. The analyst has been conducting a private investigation into the Clinton Foundation's alleged fraud for several years.

'Nobody Knows How Many Obama-Era Docs Were Lost'

In light of Hillary Clinton's carelessness one should not be surprised by the fact that one batch of classified memos was found in Joe Biden's Delaware garage near his Corvette, according to the analyst.

Moreover, former President Barack Obama was also criticized for using a pseudonymous email account to communicate with Secretary Clinton over her unsecured email server.

Ortel referred to an op-ed by former Chief Assistant Attorney in the Southern District of New York Andrew McCarthy, who suggested that these private emails "must have involved some classified information."

Given that, it is probable that the FBI opted not to charge Hillary Clinton because in that case they would have to charge Obama: classified information was mishandled on "both ends," according to the former prosecutor. Obama was well aware that they were using unsecured systems, and the prosecution could have seen it as "willful" or "grossly negligent" mishandling of sensitive government information.

According to Ortel, "these precedents only erode respect for rule of law and expectation that laws will be administered fairly and impartially."

In fact, nobody knows how many Obama-era presidential records are missing, Ortel highlighted. In 2018, the Wall Street analyst argued in his op-ed that the Obama administration's endemic negligence in handling government materials could have resulted in myriads of vital documents lost. "How many senior people in the Obama White House used personal or alias email accounts or private servers, as did former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and her inner circle?" he asked rhetorically.
