Biden Orders FBI to Declassify 9/11 Investigation Documents

| 9/11

President Biden signs an executive order directing the Department of Justice and FBI to review and declassify documents related to the FBI's 9/11 investigation over the following six months. The order comes after victims' families threatened to boycott the 20th anniversary ceremonies if Biden did not act. The declassification releases previously secret FBI interview reports examining possible Saudi government connections to the 9/11 hijackers, including investigations of Saudi officials Omar al-Bayoumi and Fahad al-Thumairy.
