WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House has begun making public visitor logs for four agencies in the presidential complex after a watchdog group sued for access.
Public Citizen filed a suit in August saying the Trump administration was violating the Freedom of Information Act by refusing to release information about visitors to the agencies. The Trump administration and the group agreed to a settlement for the release of the information on Feb. 13.
The agencies posting visitor information this week are the Office of Management and Budget, the Office of Science and Technology Policy and the Council on Environmental Quality. Logs for visitors to the Office of National Drug Control Policy are to be posted soon, according to the nonprofit group.
The agencies redacted the names of some visitors for privacy reasons.
It’s about time, the WH is a public building with an occupant living there who is being paid by the tax paying public. Come April 15, we want to see his 2017 taxes.
What about listing official visitors to the White House, and in particular, the Oval Office?

Finally, the transparency we all deserve.
Is the white house tour still 50 cents?
