Last Friday the White House posted an update to the visitor logs that included data through March 2023. The announcement said there were 69,770 new records for a total of 514,356 released visitor records.

These records can be split into these categories:

197,809 records documenting visits to White House staff for 53,976 events
255,738 “tourist” records for those not visiting a named person in 53,328 events.
The number of visits by each unique visitor name in the 55,436 POTUS visit records was summarized by month.
