“[Donald Trump is] not the president, and we do have some special exceptions for someone actually in the office. So, I do think that, just like any American, if there is evidence, that evidence should be pursued,” Hillary Clinton said. https://t.co/eEYT6mxeul

Twenty-one years after the Sept. 11 attacks, President Biden promised to never forget “the precious lives stolen from us” as he honored victims of the worst terrorist strike in American history with a somber wreath-laying ceremony under the pouring rain at the Pentagon. “It’s not enough to stand up for democracy once a year or every now and then,” Biden said. “It’s something we have to do every single day. So this is a day not only to remember, but a day of renewal and resolve for each and every American.” The first lady, Jill Biden, commemorated the day by visiting Shanksville, Pennsylvania and Vice President Kamala Harris stood alongside Mayor Eric Adams at the 9/11 Memorial and Museum at ground zero in New York City.
