Saudi Arabia Owns the 45th Floor of Trump Tower.
“The five apartments included 10 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms at the time of the sale,” reports The New York Daily News, “and had yearly common charges of $85,585 for building amenities, documents obtained by the Daily News show. If those common charges remain the same, Trump was paid at least $5.7 million by the Saudi government since 2001.” In 2008, that entire 45th floor of Trump Tower, according to the Daily News, “became part of the Saudi Mission to the United Nations.”

Numerous Saudi individuals were involved in the 9/11 terrorist attacks, and the question of whether the Saudi Arabian government had any involvement is debated. Successive US presidents have cited the commission’s report in official statements as proof that “Saudi Arabia had nothing to do with this terrible crime.” However, new declassified FBI documents suggest that Omar al-Bayoumi was being paid by Saudi intelligence. Bayoumi met two of the 9/11 hijackers before the attack.
Omar al-Bayoumi, a Saudi national, met two of the 9/11 hijackers shortly after they arrived in the US. He maintained that he met the hijackers by coincidence and he was in the US “as a business student.” The report does little to dispute this claim.
New documents suggest that the 9/11 Commission got it wrong. An FBI memo declassified in March reported that Bayoumi was receiving a monthly stipend from Saudi intelligence. In other words, he was not a student but a spy.
Declassified FBI files suggest that his initial meeting with the two hijackers had been arranged by contacts at the Saudi Consulate in Los Angeles.
Other documents released by the British government signal that Bayoumi knew about the attacks before they took place.
Among Bayoumi’s papers was a diagram depicting a plane descending toward a target on the horizon. Beside the diagram is a formula used to calculate the distance to the target.
The evidence declassified by the British government also includes videos showing Bayoumi filming himself in San Diego. The videos contain footage of Bayoumi with one of the two hijackers, and a local imam at the time who had ties to Al Qaeda.
The release of these new documents comes at an inconvenient time for the Biden administration. The last thing either country wants is a renewed debate over the Saudi role in 9/11.
