Bush, Barack Obama, and Donald Trump administrations also refused to declassify documents, pointing to concerns about national security.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Brett Eagleson\u2019s father died in the attack on the World Trade Center. Eagleson and other victims\u2019 family members filed a federal lawsuit against Saudi Arabia, saying that the kingdom was involved in the attacks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cWe are frustrated, tired and saddened with the fact that the U.S. government for 20 years has chosen to keep information about the death of our loved ones behind lock and key,\u201d said Eagleson.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Eagleson said, \u201cThe buck stops at the president.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">He also claimed that he and other members of the 9\/11 community have been \u201cignored\u201d by the director of the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), the attorney general, and other senior members of the administration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Biden \u201creally needs to be the one to step up and take action,\u201d Eagleson added, reportedly noting that the family members are hoping for a time when the president is \u201cworking with us and not against us.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">In the executive <a href=\"https:\/\/govinfo.library.unt.edu\/911\/report\/911Report_Exec.pdf\"><span class=\"s1\">summary<\/span><\/a> of The 9-11 Commission Report, Saudi Arabia is mentioned in the \u201cSpecific Findings\u201d section. The summary <a href=\"https:\/\/govinfo.library.unt.edu\/911\/report\/911Report_Exec.pdf\"><span class=\"s1\">noted<\/span><\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"10\">\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>Saudi Arabia has been a problematic ally in combating Islamic extremism. Before 9\/11, the Saudi and U.S. governments did not fully share intelligence information or develop an adequate joint effort to track and disrupt the finances of the al Qaeda organization. On the other hand, government officials of Saudi Arabia at the highest levels worked closely with top U.S. officials in major initiatives to solve the Bin Ladin problem with diplomacy.<\/i><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"p1\">The 9-11 Commission Report <a href=\"https:\/\/govinfo.library.unt.edu\/911\/report\/911Report.pdf\">said<\/a>, \u201cAt the level of high policy, Saudi Arabia\u2019s leaders cooperated with American diplomatic initiatives aimed at the Taliban or Pakistan before 9\/11.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cAt the same time,\u201d it added, \u201cSaudi Arabia\u2019s society was a place where al Qaeda raised money directly from individuals and through charities. It was the society that produced 15 of the 19 hijackers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The Saudi government has reportedly denied that it has any connection to the attacks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p2\"><i>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
