Trump to review 9/11 victims' request to declassify records on alleged Saudi links to attacks
"I'm going to look at it when I get back," he told reporters in Ireland before boarding a plane to fly back to the US.
Former US President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that he would review a request from the families of 9/11 victims to declassify additional records related to the attack, according to reports. Trump made the statement while en route back to the United States from Ireland, where he was addressing reporters.
The request for declassification of records comes after continuous lobbying from the families of 9/11 victims and numerous New York lawmakers from both political parties. In response to these calls, US Representative Nicole Malliotakis, a Republican from New York, expressed her optimism about the prospects of obtaining more information during an interview with ABC News. Malliotakis suggested that this request could be a significant opportunity for transparency, particularly under the current administration.
New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani echoed similar sentiments, releasing approximately 170,000 pages of records related to air quality, health concerns, and the city's response to the attacks. These records were made public recently, further highlighting the ongoing efforts to shed light on the aftermath of the 9/11 tragedy.
