In a recent press conference, family members of those who lost their lives in the September 11th terrorist attacks are calling on President Joe Biden and former President Donald Trump to address explosive new revelations. These revelations include a video showing a Saudi intelligence agent allegedly assisting two of the lead hijackers. The group, known as 9/11 Justice, is demanding answers and justice from both current and former leaders.
Demanding Justice and Accountability
Dennis McGinley, speaking on behalf of the victims’ families, emphasized the need for justice and accountability. He stated, “We owe it to these families, the victims, and all Americans to ensure that every individual with ties to this horrific attack is brought to justice.” This call for action resonates deeply as the families continue to seek closure and answers regarding the involvement of Saudi officials in the attacks.
Explosive Revelations
The video in question was filmed by Saudi intelligence agent Omar al-Bayoumi and has only recently been made public. It appears to show al-Bayoumi casing the U.S. Capitol while the 9/11 attacks were being planned. This new evidence raises significant questions about the extent of Saudi involvement in the attacks and the lack of transparency from the U.S. government over the past two decades.
A Ticked Off Community
Brett Eagleson, president of 9/11 Justice, expressed the community’s frustration and anger. “We stand here p*ssed off. It’s 23 years later, and our government has failed to bring us accountability, closure, and justice,” Eagleson declared. He criticized both President Biden and former President Trump for not addressing the video and the broader issue of Saudi involvement.
Broken Promises and Political Inaction
Eagleson highlighted broken promises from both political leaders. He recalled Trump’s 2016 statement on Fox News, where he suggested opening up the files on Saudi Arabia’s role in the attacks. Despite initial support, Trump’s administration invoked the state secrets privilege, keeping critical documents under lock and key. Similarly, Biden’s campaign promise to declassify these documents has yet to be fully realized, despite issuing an executive order under pressure from the 9/11 families.
Families Doing the Investigative Work
McGinley pointed out that the families themselves have done much of the investigative work. “We were the ones that were able to obtain this video; we didn’t get it from the United States government. We got it from the British government,” he said, underscoring the lack of support from U.S. authorities.
Bipartisan Support Needed
The call for justice is bipartisan, with support from lawmakers across the political spectrum. Congressman Mike Lawler, Senator Blumenthal, Senator Cornyn, Senator Grassley, and Senator Gillibrand have all shown support for the 9/11 families. “There is no issue today in United States politics that members of the left and right can agree on except this,” Eagleson noted.
Presidential Candidates Must Address the Issue
Eagleson urged Biden and Trump to address this issue head-on, accusing them of burying their heads in the sand. “These two candidates for president knew about the existence of this video, and neither one of them had the courage to stand with the 9/11 families and address this issue,” he said, emphasizing the need for leadership and accountability.
The Urgent Call for Justice
Dennis McGinley concluded the press conference with a heartfelt plea for justice, accountability, and closure. “Our loved ones, the first responders that are still dying from 9/11 related illness, deserve more than plaques and memorials. They deserve justice,” he said, calling on all leaders and representatives in Washington to take action.
“Another Decoy”
People in the comments shared their thoughts: “TRUMP and Biden??? Call out the Bush’s and Clinton’s!!!!!!!”
Another commenter pointed out: “60 years and JFK files are still classified. What makes you think this will be any different?”
One person concluded: “This is another decoy of what is really going on.”
Final Thoughts
The 9/11 families’ demand for answers and justice is a powerful reminder of the enduring pain and unresolved questions surrounding the worst terrorist attack on American soil. As new evidence emerges, the calls for transparency, accountability, and action grow louder, urging political leaders to fulfill their promises and support the families who continue to suffer.
