EXCERPT:

KING: "You make the point that he's at the White House a lot and on weekends he’s been at Trump properties. And one of the questions to this town is now, as this is not a transparent administration. I think that President Obama didn't come anywhere close to keeping his promise to be the most transparent president in history.

Or we don't know who's golfing with the president. Some of you at home probably thinks who cares, but in -- in this environment is it -- is it not appropriate. It's the White House is a taxpayer paid building. Should we not know who is going in and out of the White House? And if there’s some particular guest that they have to keep secret for some national security reason, they have a waiver for that. But i just want -- the White House communications director Mike Dubke says this, 'Grave national security risks and privacy concerns of the hundreds of thousands visitors annually,' is the reason they’re going to go back to the old ways and not disclose the visitors."
