We'd also want to hide this list if we were Trump.

Stephen Colbert somehow got a hold of the now secret White House visitor logs
Watch Next

The White House has announced that they will no longer be sharing its visitor's log with the public for national security reasons, breaking from the precedent set by former President Obama. Sean Spicer can defend the decision all he wants (he also is obligated to), but there's no getting around the perception the move was made because the administration wants to operate in as much secrecy as possible.

The Late Show, however, thinks that this move may have actually been an attempt to cover up some of the more embarrassing visitors who have swung by the White House lately. Stephen Colbert started off his Tuesday night show by showing us a "copy" of the visitor's log that they were able to obtain, and the list of names is truly astounding.
