The Trump administration is planning to provide the identity of a Saudi official who allegedly helped the 9/11 hijackers to family members of victims of the terror attacks that occurred 18 years ago.

The news was first reported by The Wall Street Journal on Thursday.

The victims' family members have been pressuring the Trump administration to release the information. In a recent letter to President Trump, they called on him to "instruct Attorney General Barr not to invoke privileges and to give us the FBI documents so that we can finally learn the full truth and obtain justice from Saudi Arabia."

Would you?

Pick one:

Yes.

No.

I don’t know.

[SaveFerris]

Well, he said that some involved were still alive at thattime. So he said he had no choice, as I recall.

GHWB was still alive at the time.

That could just be a coincidence of course.

It’s odd that he didn’t remember where he was that day. I know exactly where I was when the Space Shuttle Challenger blew up, the Space Shuttle Columbia came apart and where I was when 9/11/2001 happened.

Maybe former Ambassador to the USA, Prince Bandar?

I believe his wife was implicated in supporting some of individual hijackers.

Zacarias Moussaoui testified that Bandar helped finance them.

If I recall correctly, two (minor) Saudi princes died shortly after 9/11. One died of a sudden heart attack. He was in his 40’s. Another died when his car ran out of gas in the desert. He was in his 30’s. If I had to guess, it’s one of these two men, and their identities were supplied by the CIA to the Saudi government so they could take the appropriate punitive steps. Because 9/11 was hugely destructive to the Saudi royals, who depend on the US for protection against external enemies, whether Egypt, Iraq, Iran or Yemen. There is no way the Saudi king or his immediate supporters would be a part of such a plot. Whereas secondary players looking to replace the existing top dogs - no surprise there.

Agreed. I don't have to like the Saudis to realize those at the top "ain't that stupid".

[Paul R.]

You must not have flown with US passenger airlines prior to 911? I did, and security was very lax. The 911 hijackers had no need for hijabs, plants, etc. In fact, those things might have increased their or their plans’ (low) risk of apprehension, boarding those planes.

18-20 years later, we still have a need and right to know.

[SuperLuminal]

"Uh huh, sure. Let me know when he actually does it. I’m tired of the bait and switch tactics of the Trump admin."

Go back to AOC's campaign hdqrs where you belong,,,

Leftist Troll Alert!

[wastoute]

Can you even imagine the insatiable fury the American public would have had if Bush allowed us to know it was the Saudis that did 911? It was for our own good!

[wastoute]

What I don’t really get is if AMericans would have demanded Bush nuke Mecca if we had found out 18 years ago why are we not demanding it TODAY?

[wastoute]

We were told, “It’s all very complicated...”. No, it wasn’t. It was incomprehensible due to corruption that was covered up.

[jazminerose]

Amen.

I can only marvel at the intestinal fortitude of our President. A normal human would have crumpled into a weeping, shuddering heap long ago.

No president has ever had to endure such savage, relentless attacks.

President Trump is never weakened by it; he’s galvanized.

To the whiny, swooning, pearl clutching little girls of Freeperland: If the best you can do is carp about what President Trump has *not* accomplished (yet), on your personal timetable; get yourselves over to DU and enjoy the companionship of similarly fragile and entitled snowflakes.

Well said!

“...please give us..???

WTF?-that info BELONGS to us...We the People!!!

[Mouton]

Well they were pretty strong in making it difficult for armed fed agents and police from flying armed.

[Sacajaweau]

I'll 3rd that. The President's strength is unbelievable against the Deep State and the rest of his enemies.

Indeed he is the right man for the job at this point in History.

God Bless and Protect Him and his family.

[mewzilla]

I'll just throw this in. From last month...

With Epstein dead, Saudi links become a black hole Fresh clues, but scant details of a Middle East connection emerge amid an ongoing US investigation

[Biggirl]

The so-called deep state has had its rear end handed to it thanks to PDJT.

I used to carry multiple types of potentially lethal tools and such in my carry-on on the way to jobs and other destinations. (No firearms, though.) Never once was checked (physically inspected) until I flew overseas, to the Philippines (at that end).

Thank you for that post.
