President Biden instructed the National Archives to release visitor logs from the Trump White House to the Jan. 6 panel, rejecting Donald Trump's claim that the records were subject to executive privilege.
President Biden ordered the National Archives to hand over visitor logs from the Trump White House to the committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection.
President Biden has instructed the National Archives to release visitor logs from the Trump White House in the next 15 days to the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Former President Donald Trump had claimed the records — which show dates and times of appointments people make to enter the White House complex — were subject to executive privilege.
But White House counsel Dana Remus said in a letter to the Archives that the Biden administration routinely releases the logs, as did the Obama administration. "Preserving the confidentiality of this type of record generally is not necessary to protect long-term institutional interests of the Executive Branch," Remus wrote.
