“Nobody has got to the bottom of the attacks on the Twin Towers,” he told the families of the victims who asked him to cancel a Saudi Arabia-funded golf tournament
Former US President Donald Trump has once again unleashed the scandal by questioning the investigation into the September 11, 2001 attacks, which killed 3,000 people and injured another 25,000. “Unfortunately, no one has gotten to the bottom of 9/11,” the Republican tycoon said in response to calls from dozens of relatives of the victims of the attacks to call off a golf tournament at his club in New Jersey, funded by Saudi Arabia. order. Rather, Trump has emphasized the friendship that unites him with the sponsors, adding that “there are great people here and we’re going to have a good time.” His statements, made to a media outlet, have angered those affected, who will demonstrate in front of their club this Friday.
The suspicions of the next of kin have always been present in the investigation into the terrorist attacks on the Twin Towers and were strengthened when the FBI released a report last year that revealed the existence of a relationship between two terrorists, a Saudi official and a former intelligence agency, made public. collaborator. However, he found no trace of ties to the government or other spheres of power in that country. Nor did it provide the evidence the families hoped to obtain.
All that was achieved was to prove that 15 of the 19 terrorists who hijacked the four planes used in the attacks (two of them destroyed New York’s towers, killing thousands) were Saudis. In addition, two of the Al Qaeda activists who staged the attacks had links with a possible Saudi intelligence officer and the imam of a Los Angeles mosque who has been recognized as a consular officer for that country since 1990. The Riyadh government has always denied any link to the terrorist acts and the perpetrators. In fact, the US Commission of Inquiry into the attacks cleared the Saudis of any suspicion in the conclusions of its 2004 report.
Still, many of the victims’ relatives stand by their claim, so this week a hundred of them protested at the former president’s golf club after learning that he had organized a championship with financial support from Saudi Arabia. Questioned by this mobilization, Trump replied to the media on Thursday that “unfortunately no one has gotten to the bottom of 9/11, and they should, because some maniacs have done this terrible thing to our city, our country and the world. No one has come to that, but I can say that there are great people here and we are going to have a good time,” said the former White House tenant, who stressed that Saudi businessmen “have invested in many American companies, they own large percentages in many US companies ».
The Republican leader appears determined to rejoin the presidential race, though his behavior on January 6, 2021 weighs heavily on him. That day, a mob of extremists stormed the Capitol in Washington after being cheered on by Trump and his complaints about a nonexistent voter fraud that he believes had ousted him from the Oval Office in favor of Democrat Joe Biden. The congressional committee investigating these events has exposed Trump’s erratic and furious behavior, who was unable to accept his electoral defeat.
But if the story of that time could already land him a criminal charge with unforeseen consequences, the former Republican president has not hesitated to step into a new puddle, this hugely painful one by delving into Americans’ worst nightmare and the target. to be criticized by those affected by 9/11 after encouraging golfers to leave the PGA Tour (the American professional championship) to participate in LIV, the tournament being held at their own club in New Jersey with Saudi funding . “What they do for golf and the players is important,” said the former president, who has already assured that he is not prepared to cancel the circuit under any circumstances.
