ACLU Blasts Trump Decision Not To Release Visitor Logs, ‘Trump Admin Has Many Things It Is Trying To Hide’
American Civil Liberties Union calls out Trump for refusing to release White House visitor logs.
The American Civil Liberties Union, in a statement Friday, strongly blasted Donald Trump’s decision not to release White House visitor logs.
The ACLU called the Trump White House’s decision “simply the latest in a series of efforts by President Trump to avoid public accountability.”
“Elected officials work for the people and we deserve to see government business conducted in transparent daylight,” the ACLU statement said.
The ACLU also criticized the manner in which Trump tried to burry the announcement in a slow news day saying, “This ‘Good Friday’ news dump is simply the latest in a series of efforts by President Trump to avoid public accountability, and it’s not the way to improve the people’s declining trust in this administration.”
“Trump has bullied the press when they report on him. He has promoted the reporting of fake and outright false information. He imposed gags on federal employees in the earliest days of his administration. He has avoided disclosing his tax records, and he has avoided releasing information about his conflicts of interest,” the statement continued.
“The only reasonable conclusion is to believe the Trump administration has many things it is trying to hide.”
