Democratic presidential candidate Tulsi Gabbard says federal authorities must release the findings of their investigation into the Saudi government's role in the Sept. 11 attacks.
The Hawaii congresswoman said Tuesday in New York City that families who lost loved ones in the attacks "want the truth, and they deserve the truth."
Gabbard was joined by victims' relatives who have filed a federal lawsuit seeking the release of documents that they believe link the attackers to Saudi government officials.
She told family members gathered at a museum near the World Trade Center that it's time to hold U.S. leaders accountable "for withholding the truth from the American people."
Messages seeking comment were left with the U.S. Department of Justice and with an attorney for the Saudi government.
