The records containing information and findings surrounding the tragic 9/11 terrorist attack in the US remained unreleased to the public. With the 20th anniversary of the incident happening in a little over a month, the families of the victims are telling US President Joe Biden not to go to the memorial services unless he orders to declassify all the records of the tragic event.
A letter penned by the group made up of the families of the 9/11 victims said that they are asking Biden not to go to the Ground Zero memorial to commemorate the 9/11 terrorist attack unless he orders a release of information and documents related to the incident. The letter reads that their efforts, including calls from both Democratic and Republican members of Congress to authorize the publicizing of the documents and records, have often been ignored.
Speaking on CNN’s “Cuomo Prime Time” over the weekend, Brett Eagleson, the son of Bruce Eagleson, who was among the victims killed in the attack on the World Trade Center, appealed to Biden to help give the families the closure needed.
“The 9/11 families deserve justice and closure. Matter of fact, all Americans deserve to know the truth behind what the Saudi Arabian government’s role was in 9/11. And there’s significant evidence. The FBI has it. The DOJ doesn’t deny it exists,” said Eagleson. “We need the President to be our hero. Be our champion, Mr. President. This is a direct appeal to you. Help us in this fight. Stand by our side. Allow us to have the justice and closure that we deserve.”
The letter also made a veiled reference to a campaign promise made by Biden where he said that he would have the DOJ work to release the 9/11 documents.
Previously, Biden announced last week that Hong Kong residents that are currently in the US who are fearing for their safety following the crackdown made by China over their home will receive a temporary safe haven in the country. Biden said that the decision signals the acknowledgment of the “erosion” of the rights and freedoms of the people of Hong Kong by the Chinese government.
The decision would put Hong Kong citizens in the US on a “Deferred Enforced Departure” or DED. It will allow them to remain in the US for 18 months even if their visas have already expired.
