A former U.S. president revisited his role in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in recent remarks, reiterating claims about his involvement in recovery efforts that have not been substantiated. Speaking during an interview and at an event marking the 25th anniversary of the attacks, the statements underscore ongoing debates over his contributions during the crisis. Critics have long questioned the accuracy of these assertions, which remain central to his narrative of leadership in the face of national tragedy. The remarks come as the country reflects on the enduring impact of the attacks and the figures who shaped its response.
President Donald Trump recounted his response to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks in an interview and event leading up to the 25th anniversary this week, repeating statements that lack evidence about aiding in the recovery.
