A video i made on November 10, 2022. Breaking News!! The Wall Street Journal breaking story is surrounding the 9/11 Commission's long awaited classified interview of US President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. The April 2004 interview with the bipartisan 9/11 commission, which took place in the Oval Office, included discussion of intelligence warnings before the attacks and the events that unfolded on the day of Sept. 11, according to the copy of the 31-page document. In this video i read from the partly redacted transcript of the commission meeting which details the Presidents shoot down authority, the intelligence agencies prior warnings and much more.

The interview itself wasn’t recorded, but a note taker was present. The document was authorized for public release by the Interagency Security Classification Appeals Panel, a body of representatives from various federal departments. It contains few redactions and includes Mr. Bush’s reflections on threat reports he received in the spring and summer of 2001. It is not a verbatim transcript, but a “memorandum for the record” taken during the meeting.
