(Washington Examiner) The leaders of the Senate Homeland Security Committee are pushing the federal government to reveal unredacted documents related to Saudi Arabia’s role in the 9/11 terrorist attacks, urging officials on the 22nd anniversary to turn the materials over to lawmakers this week.
In a letter authored by Sens. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) and Ron Johnson (R-WI) on Sunday, the lawmakers who lead the key panel claim both the Justice Department and the FBI have neglected to provide “complete, unredacted records of Saudi Arabia’s role” in the attacks that have killed nearly 3,000 people.
“No one was more affected by these attacks than the families of those whose lives were lost on that day, and who have struggled to obtain accountability ever since,” the senators wrote in the letter addressed to Attorney General Merrick Garland and FBI Director Christopher Wray.
