White House says ’28 pages’ shed no new light on 9/11

Published July 15, 2016 6:35pm ET



The White House said that none of the information made public Friday in the “28 pages” of previously declassified material in the 9/11 report “changes the conclusion” about who is responsible for the attacks nearly 15 years ago in New York, Pennsylvania and at the Pentagon in Virginia.

The Obama administration believed it was important to release the material, even though the pages “don’t shed any new light or change the conclusions about the responsibility for the 9/11 attacks,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest told reporters Friday minutes before Congress released the document.
