Attorney General Blanche addresses 9/11 document release and anniversary commemoration at DOJ
Attorney General Todd Blanche held a press conference at the Department of Justice ahead of the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks and later vowed to release more 9/11-related documents. He stated that withheld documents are not being kept secret to protect Saudi Arabia but to protect genuine classified information. 9/11 family members used the anniversary ceremony to renew pressure on the Trump administration to press Saudi Arabia over its alleged role in the attacks.
