President Joe Biden’s claims of transparency have only further crumbled under scrutiny as Hunter Biden’s absence from visitor logs drew attention to other discrepancies.
Considering the allegations of the president’s involvement in influence peddling being investigated, the administration’s seemingly surreptitious record-keeping of White House visitors has only heightened suspicions. Especially as a review by Fox News Digital found that, contrary to public records, those logs recorded no visits or stays by Hunter between Jan. 2021 and Feb. 2023.
Comparing the logs to news reports from the first half of Biden’s term, it said, “A majority of the White House visits that Fox News Digital found were from 2022, which include the annual egg roll, Medal of Freedom ceremony, France State Dinner on the South Lawn, Christmas tree lighting, his daughter’s wedding, among others. However, they are all absent from the visitor logs, including what appear to be extended stays at the White House.”
Questions about the blatant discrepancies had a White House spokesperson pointing Fox News Digital to the administration’s stated policy, “The White House will not release access records related to purely personal guests of the First and Second Families (i.e., visits that do not involve any official or political business).”
However, considering the allegations brought against the Bidens, that the family had used his position as vice president during the Obama administration for financial gain, where even many of those visits had been cataloged, speculation swirled as to what the self-proclaimed “most transparent administration in American history” was keeping from the public.
Furthermore, despite the White House deflecting about the personal nature of the missing logs, a report from Bloomberg found discrepancies in record keeping on the professional side as well. Over the same span, a review of the logs accounted for over 300,000 visitors from both the public and private sectors.
Bloomberg noted that influential figures like Rep. Nancy Pelosi and Alex Soros, son and heir apparent to billionaire George Soros, had their White House visits inaccurately reported.
“For example, the records posted on the White House website show just five visits from Nancy Pelosi when she was House Speaker, despite at least 20 known instances when she was there. And Biden’s former Chief of Staff Ron Klain, whose job would have made him one of the most sought-after people in the complex, is shown hosting only six visitors over two years,” it was reported noting two separate instances when Soros was said to have met with Klain listed as a meet with lower-level staffers.
Earlier this year, House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer (R-Ky.) had pressed the administration over their cagey record-keeping, particularly as it pertained to the president’s personal residence in Delaware where classified records had been discovered.
Seeking logs from the Secret Service after administration officials claimed there were no records of visitors to the president’s Wilmington, Delaware home, Comer expressed doubts about receiving anything.
“I’m sure all the records have either been destroyed or never existed to begin with. But at any rate, this is very concerning,” he said, before suggesting security footage be turned over for review.
Hunter wasn’t alone in being a Biden family member left unaccounted for in visitor logs and Fox News Digital noted that the records for March through June 2023 had not been made available. They noted that the president’s brother Francis Biden had attended a state dinner in April and it remained to be seen if he would be listed on the log.
Logs for the Dec. 2022 state dinner hosting French President Emmanuel Macron made no mention of Hunter; his sister, Ashley Biden; his wife, Melissa Cohen Biden; or his aunt, Valerie Owens.
Additionally, the New York Post had noted frequent sightings of Hunter at the White House in recent months, raising questions as to whether he might be living there full-time.
