Washington, D.C.In response to the White Houses decision to break six years of tradition and refuse to release White House visitor logs, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) Executive Director Noah Bookbinder released the following statement:
Its disappointing that the man who promised to drain the swamp just took a massive step away from transparency by refusing the release the White House visitor logs that the American people have grown accustomed to accessing over the last six years and that provide indispensable information about who is seeking to influence the president. The Obama administration agreed to release the visitor logs in response to our lawsuits, and despite the Trump administrations worry over grave national security risks and concerns, only positives for the American people came out of them. This week, we sued the Trump administration to make sure they would continue to release the logs. It looks like well see them in court.
