US EditionTrump brags he 'warned' the US about bin Laden a year before 9/11 in bizarre claim
Trump claims he warned about Osama bin Laden a year before 9/11 in his 2000 book despite evidence showing the mention was brief and not predictive of the attacks.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump repeated his claim before sailors in Norfolk, Virginia, that his 2000 book warned about the threat posed by Osama bin Laden.
- Trump's assertion builds on his longstanding narrative that he foresaw and alerted officials to bin Laden one year before the September 11, 2001, attacks.
- Multiple fact checks, including from CNN, have found that 'The America We Deserve' contains only a brief mention of bin Laden and does not predict or advise action against him.
- CNN reported in 2019 that Trump’s book did not include a directive or warning about bin Laden and refuted Trump’s claim multiple times.
- Despite these findings, Trump has continued making this debunked claim for over a decade, drawing further media scrutiny and criticism.
