White House Press Corps members are reportedly frustrated with the administration’s handling of an “information blackout.” The alleged stonewalling comes as reporters dig for information involving President Joe Biden keeping classified documents at two locations when he served as vice president.
WMAL Radio host Vince Coglianese assessed the situation Wednesday. Coglianese said the mainstream media has moved from defending President Biden to being disappointed in him.
“One of the other problems with transparency here is that it is possible to keep track of who goes in and out of the White House because the Biden administration, to its credit, has made the visitor logs public again,” he said.
“That’s only 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. We have no idea for the other 40 percent of Biden’s presidency who’s conducting business with him in Delaware.”
A total of six pages of documents with classification markings were discovered at Biden’s Wilmington residence. Classified documents were also found at the Penn Biden Center in Washington, D.C.
Real Clear Politics White House Reporter Phillip Wegmann joined “The Vince Coglianese Show.” Wegmann added that the Washington press pool does not have access to Biden’s private residence. He said reporters who show up at the property are kept away.
“That raises a question which is, does the White House have any idea just how many people could have come across these documents?” At Real Clear Politics we reported very quickly that because the documents were found in the garage, Hunter Biden had access to them,” said Wegmann.
According to The New York Post, White House Press Secretary Karin Jean-Pierre has referred questions to the Justice Department or the White House counsel’s office.
