WASHINGTON — Mere days after HuffPost revealed how few of President Donald Trump’s transcribed remarks it was making public, his White House decided to post none at all, save for his Jan. 20 inaugural address.
Over his first 100 days in office, Trump’s White House had released just 29 of the 146 transcripts of his speeches, news conferences and interactions with news media.
White House staff did not offer any reason for why they were withholding material that had been released as a matter of course by previous White Houses, including Trump’s first-term White House.

“The president’s remarks are live on the website for every person in the world, including journalists, to access and watch for themselves.
The Trump White House is the most transparent in history,” Leavitt said.
Trump, for example, has never released any of his tax returns and his White House does not make public its visitors’ logs. »
