President Biden spent 28 percent of his first year as commander in chief back home in Delaware, worrying transparency advocates who note that he exempted his homes from visitor log disclosure.
Biden spent at least part of 101 days of his first year in office in Delaware - almost always at either his primary residence in Wilmington or his vacation home in Rehoboth Beach.
The Biden White House initially applauded itself last year for resuming the partial release of visitor logs, saying in May, "These logs give the public a look into the visitors entering and exiting the White House campus for appointments, tours, and official business - making good on President Biden's commitment to restore integrity, transparency, and trust in government."
Psaki's announcement that Biden would exempt his home from visitor log transparency triggered concern about who first son Hunter Biden might be bringing to dinner.
Hunter Biden's attorney Chris Clark said less than a week after President Biden's November summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping that the first son divested a 10 percent stake in an investment fund controlled by Chinese state-owned entities.
Trump's defense team at his 2020 impeachment trial cited Obama-era visitor logs that indicated Biden met with his son's business partner Devon Archer around the time Hunter Biden joined the board of Ukrainian energy company Burisma, where he earned a reported $1 million per year.
A Senate report released last year said a firm linked to Hunter Biden received $3.5 million from Baturina in 2014.
