House Republican investigators could get information about who visited President Joe Biden's Wilmington, Delaware, home from the Secret Service in the absence of any visitor logs kept by the White House.
Which individuals visited the Wilmington residence and when has emerged as a top area of focus for GOP lawmakers digging into Biden’s mishandling of classified information.The White House confirmed earlier this week that no visitor logs for the Delaware home exist, saying in a statement that Biden’s “personal residence is personal.”
But the Secret Service has at least some information about who spent time with Biden at the home, and the agency could provide the Oversight Committee a way to obtain key names and dates that does not require the White House’s consent. Secret Service officials have indicated a willingness to share information about the visitors if asked by Congress, Fox News reported on Thursday.Like it does for visitors at the White House, the Secret Service often conducts background checks on those who visit closely with the president at his private residence.
After the first occasion, on Dec. 20, the Justice Department did not conduct an independent search of the property and therefore did not recover at least six additional pages of classified material that remained unsecured in Biden’s home until mid-January.
