Senate Democrats Push for the Declassification of 9/11 Intelligence
A group of Senate Democrats are repeating demands for the Justice Department and FBI to release key information about the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks that victims hope to use to hold Saudi Arabia accountable for alleged involvement.
Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.), and Bob Menendez (D-N.J.) are urging the Biden administration to review the decision by the Justice Department and FBI to withhold information under the “states secret privilege,” which has blocked 9/11 victims and their families from accessing information as part of their lawsuits against the government of Saudi Arabia for its alleged involvement in the attacks.
They requested a response within two weeks.
