President Biden has ordered the release of White House visitor logs from the Trump administration to the House select committee investigating last year’s Capitol riot, overriding his predecessor’s claims of executive privilege. In a Tuesday letter to the head of the National Archives, White House counsel Dana Remus stated that Biden had determined that Trump’s privilege claim over the logs “is not in the best interests of the United States, and therefore is not justified.” “The records in question are entries in visitor logs showing appointment information for individuals who were processed to enter the White House complex, including on January 6, 2021,” Remus wrote. “As a matter of policy, and subject to limited exceptions, the Biden Administration voluntarily discloses such visitor logs on a monthly basis.”
