Joe Biden and his administration aren’t ones to do things by the book. They’re looking to cut corners at every turn.
And the Biden White House has been caught hiding sensitive documents in this scandalous move.
The Biden administration has yet to release White House visitor logs for July—the month President Joe Biden announced he would not seek reelection—raising questions about who had access to and influence over the president during this critical period.
Throughout Biden’s presidency, the White House has consistently published visitor records at the start of each month, a move widely lauded as a commitment to transparency.
However, as of mid-November, the administration has missed its usual timeline, fueling speculation about what the logs might reveal.
The last set of visitor logs, covering up to June 26, were released on October 4.
The delayed July records are particularly significant given the high-stakes political events of that month. After a poor debate performance on June 27, Biden faced mounting pressure to step aside.
Ultimately, he announced his decision to drop out of the race on July 21. Visitor logs from this period could shed light on who was advising the president in the lead-up to his historic decision.
At the beginning of his term, Biden reinstated the practice of releasing visitor records, reversing a policy under the Trump administration that halted such disclosures. At the time, The New York Times commended the move as “part of an effort to restore transparency to government.”
The records have occasionally sparked debate, such as when they revealed that Dr. Kevin Cannard, a leading Parkinson’s disease expert, had visited the White House multiple times in 2024.
These visits fueled public concern about the 81-year-old president’s health and physical fitness. This was especially the case as more and more videos emerged that showed Biden fumbling over his words or having physical trouble moving around on stage at events or while simply walking on the White House grounds.
The delay in releasing the July logs has drawn criticism from groups like Americans for Public Trust, a right-leaning government watchdog. Caitlin Sutherland, the group’s executive director, questioned the administration’s commitment to openness.
“The American people still don’t know who was coming and going from the seat of power in the lead-up to Joe Biden’s ouster and Kamala’s coronation,” Sutherland said to Fox News Digital.
“At the outset, the Biden-Harris administration promised truth and transparency. Now, in the dwindling days of their term, their refusal to release White House visitor logs from such a tumultuous period illustrates just how hollow that promise was.”
White House spokesperson Andrew Bates pushed back, pointing out the group’s lack of criticism during the Trump administration, which never released visitor logs.
He labeled Americans for Public Trust as a “dark money group” and defended Biden’s track record.
“It’s intriguing that this right-wing dark money group was silent for years as the Trump administration stopped sharing White House visitor logs with the public, but they have now abruptly developed an interest in transparency about records that we’ll be releasing in the near future,” Bates said.
“We appreciate them inadvertently highlighting that Joe Biden leads the most transparent administration in American history.”
Bates did not specify when the logs would be released or explain the delay, leaving the public to continue speculating about the figures who influenced the president during such a consequential time.
