President Joe Biden signed an executive order Friday ordering the Justice Department and other federal agencies to pursue a declassification review of documents related to the FBI’s investigations of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
The order, which comes just days ahead of the 20th anniversary of the 2001 attack that claimed the lives of nearly 3,000 people, requires Attorney General Merrick Garland to release declassified documents to the public throughout the next six months.
