GOP Oversight Committee Chairman Calls For Release Of Visitor Logs From Biden’s Delaware Residence

Klein was asked by the chairman of the Oversight Committee to provide the necessary information to ensure the safety of the country.

“Given the serious national security implications, the White House must provide the Wilmington residence’s visitor log,” Comer added.

Comer requested the logs and detailed information about searches of Biden’s home and other locations by January 30, 2023.

During a Sunday interview on CNN’s “State of the Union,” Comer said he wants information on who had access to Biden’s former Penn Center office, where classified documents were also found.

”Why didn’t we hear about this on November 2nd when the first batch of classified documents were discovered?” Comer asked.
