Trump administration withholds almost all Mar-a-Lago visitor logs




(CNN)For weeks, ethics watchdog groups had a countdown clock on Twitter promising the public its first glimpse at who has been visiting President Donald Trump's "Winter White House" at Mar-a-Lago earlier this year.

Instead, on Friday the Trump administration turned over a list of only 22 names of foreign dignitaries and staffers related to Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's February trip to the Florida resort.

Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, and two open government groups, the National Security Archive and the Knight First Amendment Institute, filed suit against the Trump administration back in April seeking visitor logs for the White House, Trump Tower in New York, and Mar-a-Lago after the Department of Homeland Security refused to respond to Freedom of Information Act requests.

Earlier this summer a federal judge in New York ordered Secret Service -- a component of Homeland Security -- to turn over all records for Mar-a-Lago from January 20, 2017, to March 8, 2017.
