Biden's Controversial 9/11 Claims and Political Divide

President Biden falsely claimed that he stood at Ground Zero in New York City viewing the damage from the 9/11 attacks just one day later, despite records showing he was in Washington, D.C. that day. C-SPAN coverage and Senate records confirm that Biden was in Washington, D.C. on September 12, 2001, participating in Senate proceedings and a joint resolution vote condemning the attacks. Biden's claim contradicts his own autobiography and a news report from that time. The White House did not respond to questions about his claim, and Biden's decision to give his speech in Alaska instead of visiting any attack sites has drawn scrutiny from 9/11 victims' families.
