Trump deflects on Saudi 9/11 ties while hosting LIV Golf at Bedminster

The day before his Bedminster club hosted the Saudi-financed LIV Golf tournament, Trump was asked by an ESPN reporter about objections from families of September 11 victims to the Saudi-backed event and responded, "Nobody's gotten to the bottom of 9/11, unfortunately, and they should have." The remark reversed his own 2016 comments suggesting Saudi government culpability for the attacks; 15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudi nationals. The 9/11 Justice advocacy group, representing thousands of family members and survivors, protested outside the club as the tournament began the next day, July 29. Trump personally profited by hosting the Saudi Public Investment Fund-backed league at his own property even as the protests continued through the tournament's final round on July 31.
