WASHINGTON - The White House on Friday began voluntarily identifying people who visited with President Joe Biden or his aides, reinstating a practice put in place by Democrat Barack Obama but later dropped by Republican Donald Trump.
âThis release was made in accordance with the reinstated policy to voluntarily disclose White House visitor logs,â the White House said. âThese logs give the public a look into the visitors entering and exiting the White House campus for appointments, tours, and official business â making good on President Bidenâs commitment to restore integrity, transparency, and trust in government.â
