Trump to review 9/11 victims' request to declassify records on alleged Saudi links to attacks

US President Donald Trump said he would consider a request from 9/11 victims' families to declassify additional records regarding the attacks and alleged ties to Saudi Arabia. He made the statement to reporters in Ireland before returning to the US. New York lawmakers from both parties have called for the release of certain phone records.

US President Donald Trump said on Sunday he would consider a request from relatives of those killed in the September 11, 2001 attacks to release more records about the event and whether its perpetrators had ties to Saudi Arabia. "I'm going to look at it when I get back," he told reporters in Ireland before boarding a plane to fly back to the US. Families of 9/11 victims have been calling for declassification of additional records. New York lawmakers from both parties have called on the Trump administration to release certain phone records. Representative Nicole Malliotakis, a New York Republican, told ABC News this is "probably one of the better shots that we have at getting this information out there." New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani recently released about 170,000 pages of records related to air quality, health concerns, and the city's response to the attacks.
