Unlike entry into the White House, getting into Mar-a-Lago doesn’t require a comprehensive background check or a weapon screening. Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s “winter White House,” doesn’t log its guests, even when the president is visiting the South Florida seaside club. POLITICO reported in March that despite efforts from Democrats to obtain records of who’s coming in and out of Trump’s private clubs, no one is actually keeping track. The group declared it a “MAJOR CREW VICTORY” in a tweet Monday morning, but it’s unclear what records the group will receive. “We are glad that as a result of this case, this information will become public for meetings at his personal residences-but it needs to be public for meetings at the White House as well.” “The public deserves to know who is coming to meet with the president and his staff,” said Noah Bookbinder, CREW’s executive director. The group has vowed to share the records publicly. CREW, which filed suit with the National Security Archive and the Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia University for logs of visitors from Mar-a-Lago, the White House and Trump Tower, said the Department of Homeland Security has agreed to release Mar-a-Lago’s logs by Sept.
