The statement: https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/statements-releases/2021/08/09/statement-by-president-joe-biden-on-department-of-justice-filing/
An excerpt:
As I promised during my campaign, my Administration is committed to ensuring the maximum degree of transparency under the law, and to adhering to the rigorous guidance issued during the Obama-Biden Administration on the invocation of the state secrets privilege. In this vein, I welcome the Department of Justices filing today, which commits to conducting a fresh review of documents where the government has previously asserted privileges, and to doing so as quickly as possible.

She encountered something in her translator work that evidently conflicted with the official narrative, but she hasn't been allowed to say what it was.

(2,559 posts)5. I didn't know of that one, thanks. What is impressive is that we have moved from when no public
dissent or questioning was allowed. I remember that Obama had appointed Van Jones and then he was forced out because he had signed a petition calling for a new investigation.
So we have moved a long way from, no dissent about the 9/11 report allowed, to a new look at the documents.
