White House visitor logs reveal big omission related to Hunter Biden

ASHLEY: SQUEEKY CLOSE. BEN DOMENECH JOINS ME NOW. GOOD MORNING TO YOU. THE GOP ONLY HAS AS LAUREN POINTED OUT A HANDFUL OF OPPORTUNITIES TO WIN IN THE SENATE AND CERTAINLY NO ROOM FOR ERROR IN THE HOUSE CONTEST. IT DOESN'T SOUND VERY ENCOURAGING FOR 2024. WHAT SAY YOU? >> WELL, FIRST OFF, I HAVE TO COMPLEMENT YOUR SONG CHOICE. THAT WAS OUR FIRST DANCE WITH MY WIFE WHEN

THE FACT THAT THEY HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REALLY MEET THEIR RECRUITMENT GOALS THIS TIME AROUND IN TERMS OF PUTTING TOGETHER SOME VERY SOLID POTENTIAL GENERAL ELECTION CANDIDATES IN EACH OF THESE STATES IS REALLY CRITICAL INCLUDING OF COURSE GOVERNOR JIM JUST ITS IN WEST VIRGINIA, BERNIE MARINO IS LIKELY TO COME OUT IN OHIO AND OF COURSE IN MONTANA JUST THE OTHER DAY RECRUITING A NAVY SEAL CANDIDATE

WHO HAS A LOT OF BACKING FROM THE PARTY ESTABLISHMENT. ALL OF THIS GIVES REPUBLICANS A LOT OF HOPE AND CERTAINLY, YOU KNOW, FOR DEMOCRATS, THEY ALSO ARE GOING THROUGH A PERIOD OF RETIREMENT WHERE THEY'VE HAD SO MANY PEOPLE AROUND FOR SO LONG. YOU SAW NANCY PELOSI ENDORSING TERM LIMITS THE OTHER DAY FOR THE SUPREME COURT WHICH IS PRETTY LAUGHABLE CONSIDERING SHE'S BEEN A MEMBER OF DEMOCRATIC

LEADERSHIP LONGER THAN ALL BUT ONE MEMBER OF THE COURT HAS BEEN THERE, CLARENCE THOMAS. IT'S THE KIND OF THING WHERE THERE IS JUST GOING TO BE A NATURAL PERIOD, I THINK, OF THESE KIND OF 80-SOMETHING DEMOCRATS HEADING TO THE EXITS AND DEMOCRATS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO STRUGGLE TO REPLACE THEM. ASHLEY: TIME FOR A FRESH APPROACH. THE WHITE HOUSE HAS OMITTED ANY RECORDS OF HUNTER BIDEN

VISITS. SO I ASK A QUESTION AGAIN. WHAT'S HAPPENED TO THIS ADMINISTRATION CLAIMING IT BE THE MOST TRANSPARENT IN HISTORY? APPARENTLY NOT. >> HUNTER MIGHT AS WELL BE THE IN VISIBLE MAN, EXCEPT THAT HE'S OUT THERE IN FRONT OF US ALL THE TIME AT STATE DINNERS, YOU KNOW, GOING TO ALL THESE DIFFERT PLACES WITH HIS FATHER WE CAN SEE THAT HE'S THERE BUT IT'S AS IF THE

WHITE HOUSE PRETENDS THAT WE CAN'T SEE ANY OF THAT GOING ON IN FRONT OF OUR VERY EYES. LOOK. THEY HAVE NOT BEEN TRANSPARENT AT ALL. THE OBAMA WHITE HOUSE, BY THE WAY, IN CONTRAST, DID KEEP RECORDS OF HUNTER'S VISITS SO IT'S NOT LIKE HE HAS SOME KIND OF FAMILY PROTECTION PRIVILEGE OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT. AND YET, THEY ARE, YOU KNOW, CONTINUING TO JUST FLAUNT IT IN

THE VOTERS FACES HOW MUCH THEY ARE PRETENDING LIKE ALL OF THE DIFFERENT WOES THAT SURROUND HUNTER DON'T MATTER AND OF COURSE WE KNOW BETTER AND THE CONGRESS AND THE CONTINUED EFFORTS TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF HOW THIS PLEA DEAL WAS WORKED OUT AND WHETHER YOU HAD THE ACTUAL ABILITY AT DOJ TO ADVANCE THE KIND OF CHARGES THAT MR. WEISS WANTED TO IS REALLY GOING TO

BE SOMETHING THAT IS A VERY OPEN QUESTION THAT'S GOING TO BE RESOLVED IN THE COMING MONTHS. ASHLEY: WE'LL HAVE TO LEAVE IT THERE, BEN, BUT THANK YOU SO MUCH AND I
