Trott Urges President Obama to Release Secret 9/11 Report Pages to the American People

Statement

U.S. Representative Dave Trott (MI-11) today called on President Barack Obama to release the twenty-eight redacted pages of the Congressional 9/11 Inquiry Report to the American people.

"Nearly fifteen years after the terror attacks of September 11th, the American people deserve to see what is behind the blank ink of these twenty-eight pages in the 9/11 report. A large bipartisan coalition in Congress agree that these pages do not pose a risk to American security and should be declassified so Americans--and the families of the thousands of victims of 9/11--can better understand what led up to worst terror attack in U.S. history. At a time when trust in Washington is at an all-time low, President Obama should act in a transparent way and release these redacted pages as soon as possible," said Rep. Dave Trott.

As has been reported recently, the Congressional Joint Inquiry Into Intelligence Activities Before and After the Terrorist Attacks of September 2001 report contains a twenty-eight page chapter that has been redacted from the American people. Lawmakers and former elected officials from both parties have urged President Obama to release these pages to the families of the victims of the 9/11 attacks and to the American people.

Rep. Dave Trott endorsed legislation calling on the Obama Administration to release the twenty-eight secret pages.
