U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson is asking the Department of Justice and FBI to provide its full, unredacted records on Saudi Arabia’s role in the 9/11 attacks. The Oshkosh Republican Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations ranking member in a joint letter with Chair U.S. Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., asked the security agencies for more clarity the day before the 22nd anniversary of the terrorist attacks. The Biden administration in 2021 declassified a 16-page FBI report tying hijackers to Saudi nationals living in the United States, but much of the information was redacted. The senators made the same request on July 18 and had a meeting with DOJ and FBI officials last month on the issue. The letter concludes with a warning to the agencies. “Should DOJ and the FBI fail to provide the briefing and continue to fail to provide the requested unredacted documents by this deadline, the Subcommittee will be forced to consider the use of the other tools at its disposal to ensure compliance,” the letter reads.
