President Obama will come to a resolution on whether he will declassify 28 pages of 9/11 documents within 60 days, according to former Florida Sen. Bob Graham.


The former senator who co-chaired the 2002 joint congressional inquiry into the attacks said that the White House is weighing a decision on whether to declassify the documents that will be made public in the next two months, according to Fox News.

On CBS’ “60 Minutes” last Sunday Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-N.Y.) said she believed the documents she had seen,should be made public to family members of 9/11 victims. Gillibrand is among a growing, bipartisan group advocating for the release of the documents.

In the past, both George W. Bush and Barack Obama have alluded that declassifying the documents may threaten national security. Critics, however, claim that the reluctance stems from wanting to hide Saudi Arabia’s involvement in the attacks. Fifteen of the hijackers were Saudi Arabian.
