Fox News' Bret Baier interviewed Saudi leader Mohammed bin Salman about Saudi Arabia's role in 9/11 attacks.

MBS maintained Saudi Arabia was also a victim of bin Laden's attacks in the 1990s.
9/11 families dispute MBS' claims, say Saudi Arabia blocks access to records and evidence related to the attacks.
Lawyers for 9/11 families want to reopen discovery against Saudi Arabia based on newly released FBI evidence.
