The latest twist in the Biden classified documents scandal will likely boost former President Trump's prospects in the FBI's ongoing investigation into his mishandling of classified documents.
On Sunday, House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., tweeted that he called for White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain to share the visitor logs from President Biden's Wilmington, Delaware home, where aides discovered additional classified documents over the weekend.

The president's lawyers responded Monday, confirming that no such records exist at his Wilmington home.
As Fox News reports:
“Like every President in decades of modern history, his personal residence is personal,” the White House Counsel's Office told Fox News Digital on Monday. “But upon taking office, President Biden restored the norm and tradition of keeping White House visitors logs, including publishing them regularly, after the previous administration ended them.”
Biden is currently facing a special counsel investigation into his handling of classified documents after at least two stashes were found at his Wilmington home and a pro-Biden think tank in Washington, D.C.
The Secret Service also stated Sunday that while a detail is assigned to the home, they do not record visitors.
“We don't independently maintain our own visitor logs because it's a private residence,” spokesman Anthony Guglielmi told reporters.
On Thursday, Attorney General Merrick Garland announced he tapped Robert Hur, a Trump appointee, to lead the investigation into Biden's handling of classified documents.

Anyone can visit & leave things etc Wow
Like an IED.
Not logging visitors is a separate issue from having security. It is, at least theoretically, possible to have armed guards patrolling the property 25/7 without having visitor logs. The reverse is also true. Having visitor logs doesn’t require actual security.
I am not clear why anyone would expect there to be log of visitors to Biden home during the time between the end of his term as Vice President and his election as President. During the time, he was officially a civilian, not a government officer.
From what you wrote you feel anyone can see and read top secret material? Biden changed everything when he took that stuff home.
This morning’s news told that Biden said his home in Wilmington, Delaware is private and needs no visitor’s log. When he illegally took those FOUR batches of classified documents there he changed everything. With no visitor’s log how does anyone know who was there and read those top secret papers? Biden apparently doesn’t understand that he’s an employee of WE THE PEOPLE and not our ruler who feels he can do as he damn well pleases. Many have been giving an awful lot for this country for many years. Many gave all they had to give. Their lives. What has Biden ever given for the country that gave him everything? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
The SS is required to keep records, as they are on the Government Payroll and are required to account for how their time is being accounted for!!!
Well? That is so anyone can visit and inspect the classified top secret files, like Hunter’s Chinese communist customer (agents), Russian agents, Mexican cartel members etc…🤨
