A congressman is pressing the U.S. Secret Service for information on who visited the Biden home in Delaware where classified documents were discovered in recent months.
While a subset of the visitors to President Joe Biden’s Wilmington house was disclosed to the public prior to the documents being found, a number aren’t known.
The service has since acknowledged it does have information on which persons visit the sites.
While the service does not maintain “formal visitor logs” of residences where agents provide security, “In the course of our work, we do generate law enforcement and criminal justice information as it relates to individuals accessing protected sites,” Guglielmi told The Epoch Times in an email on Jan. 23.
But, he added, the information is “not organized or compiled as a visitor log.”
Comer asked for all documents and communications “related to visitor information” at the Wilmington Biden residence from Jan. 20, 2017, to the present.
“The White House says they don’t keep visitor logs for Biden’s home. The Secret Service does keep records. I’m calling on the Secret Service to provide docs, communications, and visitor info for Biden’s Delaware home,” Comer said in a statement.
“The Secret Service is in receipt of a letter from the House Committee on Oversight and accountability and it is currently being reviewed. As with any request from Congress, the Secret Service will respond to the Chairman,” Guglielmi told The Epoch Times.
The White House said previously that visitor logs for Biden’s personal residences don’t exist.
Biden was vice president from Jan. 20, 2009, to Jan. 20, 2017.
Records from the Obama-Biden administration have been discovered at multiple locations, including the Wilmington home, according to the White House and the U.S. Department of Justice. They include documents with classified markings.
Former President Donald Trump is under criminal investigation for possessing certain classified materials. FBI agents raided Trump’s house in Florida in 2022 over the matter.
Attorney General Merrick Garland, a Biden appointee, has appointed special counsels to separately investigate Trump and Biden.
The newest batch of documents discovered at the Wilmington home include materials from Biden’s time as a senator, one of his lawyers said over the weekend.
Biden represented Delaware in the Senate from 1973 to 2009.
Comer has also requested other materials, including a log of people who met with Biden at the University of Pennsylvania’s Penn Biden Center in Washington, where another tranche of classified materials was found in a section used by Biden between the time he left office and the time in 2019 that he announced a presidential campaign.
