The families of some victims who died in the 9/11 terrorist attacks are calling on Congress to declassify documents that detail what happened that day and who was behind it. A two-year-old U.S. law allows families to sue countries suspected of supporting terrorism.
Brett Eagleson’s father died at the World Trade Center. Eagleson lives in Middletown, Connecticut, and he’s a plaintiff on a lawsuit that seeks damages from Saudi Arabia for supporting 9/11 terrorists. He said the suit can’t move forward because the report that his lawyers subpoenaed from intelligence agencies is so censored.
“It’s just all blacked out. Literally. We could show you examples of 29 pages 19 pages where it starts talkin’ about who funded logistical support and there’s literally 100 percent redacted,” Eagleson said.
U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut announced on Monday that he’s introducing a resolution that would encourage the President to de-classify the documents.
