9/11 victims hope newly uncovered records will help illuminate Saudis' alleged role

Families of 9/11 victims are pushing President Trump to release more government records that could shed light on Saudi Arabia's alleged involvement in the attacks. Twenty-five years after the tragedy, newly acquired documents are providing what the families describe as compelling evidence of deep Saudi complicity in the attacks.

The evidence includes a video purportedly showing a Saudi agent casing the U.S. Capitol two years before the attacks, as well as a sketch in a notebook that allegedly demonstrates calculations for directing a plane towards a target on the ground. The Saudi government has consistently denied any involvement in facilitating the attacks.
