White House will not release visitor logs during Trump's second term

Releasing visitor logs is not a requirement since they are protected by the Presidential Records Act, which shields the records from public release until five years after a president leaves office, the Examiner said.

At the beginning of Biden's presidency, media outlets praised the Biden administration for resuming the release of visitor logs after the Trump administration stopped the practice during his term. The New York Times spoke highly of the practice as "part of an effort to restore transparency to government." 

Former President Barack Obama was the first president to disclose visitor logs, the Examiner reported.
