President Biden on Saturday will visit the three sites of the 9/11 terror attacks – New York City, Virginia and Pennsylvania – to mark their 20th anniversary but is not scheduled to give public remarks or a speech.
Biden and first lady Jill Biden will be joined by former President Obama in Lower Manhattan, where terrorists on Sept 11, 2001, slammed a hijacked jetline into each of the World Trade Centers Twin Towers.
Biden was Obama’s vice president for both terms, which ended in 2016. Biden was a senator at the time of the attacks.
Biden after taking office earlier this year, and as the anniversary of the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people neared, had been asked by hundreds of 9/11 families not to attend 20th anniversary events because he had not declassified government evidence beforehand that could link Saudi Arabia to the attack.
However, early last month Biden signed an executive order that would require the review, declassification and release of classified government documents related to the terrorist attacks. The order also set a timeline for the review process, according to The Washington Post.
