Trump says he will consider releasing 9/11 records after families request

President Donald Trump said Sunday (September 14, 2026) that he will look into requests from families of September 11 victims to release records that could shed light on Saudi Arabia's alleged role in the attacks 25 years ago.

Several families have long alleged that a group of extremist religious leaders in Saudi Arabia gained influence in the Saudi government and aided the hijackers. Fifteen of the 19 hijackers were Saudis, but the Saudi government has long denied any involvement in the attacks.

The families have asked Mr. Trump to declassify and release the relevant records. When asked about it on Sunday (September 1) during his trip to Ireland, the President said he would consider it.
