President Donald Trump indicated Sunday that he would examine requests from families of September 11 victims to release additional government records tied to the attacks.

Speaking to reporters in Ireland before boarding Air Force One, Trump said he would look into the matter upon his return to Washington. "I'm going to look at it when I get back," he stated. "I know they asked me Friday. I could be" open to the request, he added.

The comments followed direct appeals during Friday's 25th anniversary memorial at the National 9/11 Memorial in New York City. Family members, including Terry Strada of 9/11 Families United, called on Trump to declassify unredacted files they believe implicate Saudi Arabia. One relative described the documents as evidence the "deep state has hidden" and urged release while surviving families remain alive to see it.

Fifteen of the 19 hijackers were Saudi nationals. Families have pursued a long-running lawsuit against the kingdom, alleging support for the attackers through extremist religious leaders. Saudi officials have consistently denied any involvement.

The push comes amid other recent disclosures. The CIA released previously unseen intelligence briefings on al Qaeda warnings to Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush. New York City under Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani opened a public portal with over 170,000 pages of local records on air quality, health impacts, and the government response.

Trump's administration has highlighted its record on transparency through prior declassifications. Families and some lawmakers, including Rep. Nicole Malliotakis, have pressed for further action on phone records and other materials linked to alleged Saudi intelligence assets like Omar al-Bayoumi.

The president has not committed to a timeline or specific documents. A White House spokesperson noted ongoing efforts to identify responsive records.
