Dems introduce bill to publish Mar-A-Lago, White House visitor logs

Source: The Hill

Senate Democrats are doubling down on their push to force the Trump administration to publicly release the visitor logs for the White House and Mar-A-Lago.
Sens. Tom Udall (N.M.), Sheldon Whitehouse (R.I.), Tom Carper (Del.) and Jack Reed (R.I.) introduced legislation on Friday that would require the administration to publish public visitor logs for the White House "or any other location where the President Trump regularly conducts official business."

Rep. Mike Quigley (D-Ill.) is also introducing a House-version of the legislation, known as the Make Access Records Available to Lead Government Openness, or MAR-A-LAGO, Act.

Democrats have hounded the Trump administration to continue the Obama-era practice—and extend it to the Florida resort that Trump has referred to as his "winter White House"—of publicly releasing visitor logs.
