White House press secretary Robert Gibbs Wednesday danced around accusations that Democratic donors have had special access to White House officials, saying those that did have meetings at the White House will be made public by the end of the year.

Gibbs comments follow a Washington Times story suggesting that Democratic bundlers and big money donors have gotten special access to White House officials and other perks.

"Hundreds of thousands of people have visited this White House since the president came in," said Gibbs. "Every name of every person that comes to this White House will be released."

He added: "Contributing doesn't guarantee a visit to the White House, nor does it preclude it."

When pressed about a reported Democratic National Committee program for big midterm- election donors to meet with Obama administration officials, Gibbs suggested reporters contact the Democratic National Committee for answers.

In early September, the White House announced it would be making its visitor logs public, ending two lawsuits seeking the names in those logs under the Freedom of Information Act. Under the new policy, enacted Sept. 15, the White House will make public the names of individuals visiting the White House, the names of those they were meeting and how long the meetings lasted. (Meetings that were held for national security reasons won't be released.) The first report is scheduled to be released at year's end. Meetings in the Oval Office will also be made public, Gibbs said.

Gibbs added that as far as he was "aware of," no campaign donor received a night in the Lincoln bedroom, as had been a practice during the Clinton administration.

I called Norm Eisen, special counsel to the president on ethics and government reform, today to ask him about the Washington Times story, but he referred me to Gibbs comments today on the matter.
