A new age of openness was a campaign pledge of President Joe Biden's administration upon assuming office in January 2021.

There is mounting evidence that the administration is hiding information rather than providing the promised transparency, as shown by a pattern of ignored subpoenas, stonewalled document requests, and recalcitrant department secretaries, according to Just The News.

Since the Republicans took over the House in 2022, there has been mounting evidence that the Biden administration is hiding documents and testimony from an antagonistic Congress.

Several Biden cabinet secretaries, for instance, have been under fire for allegedly ignoring valid subpoenas from Congress.

The House's Move

In addition, the House was compelled to impeach one official of the administration and hold another one in contempt.

Lastly, there have been several document requests and subpoenas in ongoing investigations, including the Biden impeachment probe, reviews of agency programs, and presidential orders, and none of these have been resolved.

After what many saw as the Trump administration's years of secrecy, President Biden's administration pledged to break new ground in openness and honesty once he assumed office.

Not Biden's Fault

To be fair, however, none of this may be President Joe Biden's fault, considering his faltering health and what is likely a White House not being run by the chief executive at this time.

A recent report by Breitbart News indicated that Biden admitted to having delegated "everything" to Vice President Kamala Harris.

All responsibilities as commander-in-chief, including domestic and foreign policy, was assigned to the vice president, according to his statement on Wednesday.

Importantly, the admission runs counter to Harris's arguments. Many times, Harris has sought to separate herself from the record that she co-wrote with Joe Biden.

Harris's Statement

“My approach is about new ideas, new policies that are directed at the current moment. And also, to be very honest with you, my focus is very much in what we need to do over the next ten, twenty years to catch up to the twenty first century,” Harris told Brian Taff of Philadelphia’s Action News 6 ABC on September 13.

“I’m obviously not Joe Biden, and you know, I offer a new generation of leadership,” she said, providing examples of what the Biden-Harris administration failed to achieve.

RMG Research research from September indicated that 57% of registered voters think they are not better off under the Biden-Harris government compared to four years ago under former President Trump.

Among Americans, just 25% think the economy is doing "excellent or good" under the Biden-Harris administration, according to a Pew Research survey.
