Judicial Watch Statement on Court Ruling on the Secret Service’s White House Visitor Logs

U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Rules White House visitor logs off-limits to the America People

(Washington, DC)Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton issued a statement today in response to the ruling of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, which found that U.S. Secret Service’s White House visitor logs for people visiting the president’s office are not subject to disclosure under the Freedom of Information Act (Judicial Watch Inc. v. U.S. Secret Service (No. 11-5282)):

 

“A president that doesn’t want Americans, under law, to know who his visitors are is a president who doesn’t want to be accountable.  The appellate court decision punches another hole in the Freedom of Information Act, the law which allows Americans to know what their government is up to.  We are strongly considering an appeal.  The legal gymnastics in this unprecedented decision shows that President Obama is not the only one willing to rewrite laws without going through Congress. And this legal fight, in which President Obama is fighting tooth and nail against full disclosure under law of his White House visitors, further exposes his big lie that his administration is the most transparent in history. The silver lining is that at least the appellate court opened up the records of tens of thousands White House visits that Obama was trying to keep secret.”
