The 28 Pages of the 9/11 Commission Report are a series of documents detailing the financial and infrastructural support the 19 hijackers received when they carried out the 9/11 attacks.

The documents remained classified since the investigation ended in 2002, but were declassified on July 15, 2016.

The documents detail how some of the hijackers received assistance from individuals who were connected to high ranking officials within the Saudi Government.

^[7]One prominent link is that of the former Saudi ambassador to the United States, Prince Bandar bin Sultan, who sent money to two of the hijackers living in San Diego on multiple occasions.

Reactions to the documents release have been mixed.

The White House asserted that the documents point to no new evidence and does not link Saudi Arabia institutions and high-ranking government officials to the attacks.

^[9]The Saudi Arabian government welcomed the released and hoped that it finally clears suspicion of their alleged involvement.

Bob Grahm reacted otherwise.

He is the former co-chair of the 9/11 Commission, who wrote an op-ed in 2012 calling for the 28 pages to be released and for the investigation to be reopened.

^[14]When the 28 pages were released, Graham considered it to be a bombshell and a significant step in the investigation of the Saudi's involvement.

^[10]He adds that there is still more information is still being withheld.

^[10]Furthermore, he suggests that 9/11 could have been prevented on multiple occasions if the FBI and CIA investigated the Saudi leads more thoroughly before the attacks.

Preceding the release, the Senate passed a bill making it easier for 9/11 victim's families to sue Saudi Arabia.
