' FIRST ON FOX: President Biden’s Delaware home . A recent New York Post report revealed that the Secret Service claimed to have no records on the identities of visitors to the president’s home in Delaware . Speaking to Punchbowl News this week, Kevin McCarthy suggested his party could hold up aid to the embattled country should Republicans take back the House, warning that the GOP would be disinclined to “write a blank check to Ukraine. Fox News Digital asked the White House if they have records of who has met with the president at his Delaware home and if the administration would release them. If no such records exist, Fox News Digital asked, why is the White House not keeping track of who is meeting the president? The White House dodged Fox News Digital's questions on President Biden's visitor's log from his Delaware home, where he has spent over a quarter of his time as president. “Ukraine is important, but at the same time it can’t be the only thing they do, and it can’t be a blank check. (SAUL LOEB/AFP via Getty Images) The White House dodged the questions, instead taking aim at the prior administration over the handling of their White House visitor's logs. It is unknown if the prosecutors will have the opportunity to charge Hunter with any alleged crimes with “voluminous evidence” found on the laptop. "President Biden is proud to lead the most transparent administration in American history, and to have restored the practice of releasing visitors logs after it was discontinued by his predecessor," White House spokesperson Andrew Bates said in a statement. "Handing President Biden a blank check to fix Ukraine is like handing a drowning victim an anchor — it doesn't end well," Pennsylvania Rep. "We also respect that it’s always the role of evenhanded news outlets to advocate for more transparency," he continued. The Trump administration drew harsh criticism over its approach to visitor's logs, which White Houses traditionally have made public.

In February, Biden ordered the release of former President Trump’s visitor’s logs to the congressional committee on the January 6th riot, with the National Archives following through on the order in March. The Biden administration has released visitor logs to the White House, but has kept secret the identities of those who have visited Biden in Delaware, where the president has spent over a quarter of his time since taking office. The Delaware residences where Biden has stayed are less publicly visible than the White House, making it difficult to know whom the president has seen during those trips. House Oversight Committee ranking member James Comer, R-Ky., told Fox News Digital the"claim that there are no visitor logs for President Biden’s Delaware residence is a bunch of malarkey. The Post’s interfered with the investigation into Hunter: That was a clear push for mercy — from the ultimate boss of the Justice Department that’s weighing charges against Hunter.

Marsha Blackburn, R-Tennessee., blasted the Biden administration in a statement to Fox News Digital, saying the Biden White House "has repeatedly refused to give answers" to different inquiries regarding Hunter Biden's laptop and President Biden's private meetings in Delaware. (Tom Williams/Pool via REUTERS) "President Biden has spent a large amount of time at his Delaware residence since assuming office," Comer said."Americans deserve to know who President Biden is meeting with, especially since we know that he routinely met with Hunter’s business associates during his time as vice president. The Biden Administration must provide transparency to the American people." "The administration has repeatedly refused to give answers about Hunter Biden’s laptop, Joe Biden’s knowledge of corrupt business dealings, and meetings at Biden’s private hideout in Delaware," Senator Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee told Fox News Digital."Joe Biden’s America operates under two standards: one for the radical left and one for the rest of the country." "What is the Administration hiding? It’s one thing to assert confidentiality concerns when it comes to releasing logs about personal meetings with the President, but it’s quite another to claim these records don’t exist," Rep. Nancy Mace, R-S. C., told Fox News Digital. "It's bad if there is official business being conducted and they aren't telling us with who," Mace continued."It’s even worse the Administration is using the Secret Service to excuse its complete and total lack of transparency." Mace added that every"individual that comes into close proximity with the President, in an official or personal capacity, is screened by the Secret Service" and that"record exists somewhere. " House Oversight Committee ranking member James Comer, R-Ky., told Fox News Digital the "claim that there are no visitor logs for President Biden’s Delaware residence is a bunch of malarkey."

Pete Sessions, R-Texas, told Fox News Digital the"apparent lack of candor and openness concerning issues within this administration, does not match the standard that President Biden set on January 20, 2021." "In his Press Secretary’s words, the Biden administration would, ‘share information even when it is hard to hear,'" Sessions said. "They have failed to live up to their own standards." The New York Post reported that it requested the information about who visited the president at his Wilmington and Rehoboth Beach homes as part of the Freedom of Information Act but had its appeal denied.
