Trump Says He’ll Consider Releasing More 9/11 Records After Families’ Request

President Donald Trump said Sunday that he will consider releasing additional government records related to the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks following renewed pressure from victims’ families.
Speaking to reporters in Ireland before returning to the United States, Trump said he would examine the request when he gets back to Washington.
The development comes just days after the United States marked the 25th anniversary of the attacks, renewing public attention on still-classified or redacted documents connected to the investigation.
Families of 9/11 victims have specifically pushed for greater disclosure of records that could shed light on allegations concerning possible Saudi links to individuals connected to the hijackers. Saudi Arabia has long denied involvement in the attacks.
The CIA recently released dozens of previously classified intelligence documents concerning warnings issued before the attacks, but families and transparency advocates continue to call for additional records to be made public.
Trump’s comments could now intensify pressure on the administration to conduct another review of classified 9/11 material.
