Eight-hundred families of 9/11 victims and 1,500 first responders, along with others who suffered as a result of the attacks, have filed a lawsuit against Saudi Arabia over its alleged complicity in the 2001 terror attacks, according to an exclusive report by local New York outlet Pix 11.
The legal document, filed in a federal court in Manhattan, describes the Saudi role in the attacks. Pix 11 reports:
The document details how officials from Saudi embassies supported hijackers Salem al-Hazmi and Khalid Al-Mihdhar 18 months before 9/11.
The officials allegedly helped them find apartments, learn English and obtain credit cards and cash. The documents state that the officials helped them learn how to blend into the American landscape.
President Trump, for his part, previously criticized the Saudis, even acknowledging their alleged role in the 9/11 attacks when the 28-pages were released. However, since taking office, Trump has moved closer to Saudi Arabia, approving a weapons deal even Barack Obama rejected. Trump has also continued bombing Yemen, and Exxon Mobil, whose former CEO now serves at Trump’s secretary of state, has historical business ties to the Saudis. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson recently refused to acknowledge Saudi Arabia’s human rights abuses.

This was among the dumbest laws ever passed. Veto overridden even.
What happens when the MILLIONS of families in the ME start suing us for our atrocities?

Saudi Arabia was a lovely scapegoat for CIA engineered terror cells.
They're suing the wrong government, I'm afraid.

Obama was the one fighting fascism single handedly?
You really need to quit watching CNN 12 hours a day.
