Senator Ron Johnson is urging Congress to reopen the investigation into the events of September 11, 2001, focusing in particular on the unexplained collapse of World Trade Center Building 7, which was never hit by an aircraft and remains, in his view, deeply suspect.
In an explosive new interview that’s turning heads and raising eyebrows, Johnson, known for his America First positions and alignment with President Trump, tore into the official narrative and pointed fingers at what he calls a “corrupt” investigation by the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
Speaking to conservative commentator Benny Johnson, the Wisconsin senator stated, “Let’s start with Building 7. I don’t know if you can find any building engineers—except those who held the corrupt investigation at NIST—who would say it crashed in some other way than through a controlled demolition.”

Tells us that 9/11 Hearings are being planned, Building 7 was potentially a “Controlled Demolition”

Johnson, who leads the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, is demanding answers and calling out what he sees as a blatant cover-up.
“You’re talking about molten steel. Just watch the footage. Listen to the documentary Bravo 7, put together by New York firefighters. There are a lot of questions. Who ordered the removal and destruction of all evidence? That’s completely contrary to every investigative procedure we have for fire scenes. Who gave that order?”
The senator’s comments come amid renewed interest in launching fresh hearings into the 9/11 attacks, a move that, if realized, could peel back two decades of secrecy and government stonewalling.
Johnson confirmed that families of numerous victims have reached out to him directly, urging him to fight for the release of unredacted FBI files. “We wanted to get those answers, those documents for the families,” he said. “Again, we didn’t get squat from the FBI.”
The official story, which of course only ‘tin-foil hat-wearing conspiracy nuts’ question, is that Building 7 collapsed due to fire damage caused by debris from the nearby Twin Towers.
Senator Johnson doesn’t buy it, however. “Where’s all the documentation from the NIST investigation? There are a host of questions I want and I will be asking, quite honestly, now that my eyes have been opened,” he stated.
Senator Johnson is not alone. Former Congressman Curt Weldon, who’s been a longtime critic of the government’s version of events, is teaming up with Johnson to bring more facts to light. Weldon has even called on President Trump to appoint “people of impeccable integrity” to lead a new commission to “study the facts” behind 9/11.
In a separate interview with journalist Tucker Carlson, Weldon pulled no punches: “You know what gets me? Reporters who call people conspiracy theorists. Well, that’s all the agency does! They’re the ones who create the conspiracies. They have whole courses for their agents on how to make people look like they’re conspiracy theorists.”

Johnson echoed the sentiment and hinted that former President Trump—“being a New Yorker himself”—might be the right person to finally bring real transparency to the American people.
“What really happened on September 11? What do we know? What is hidden? My guess is that there is a lot that is hidden when it comes to what the US government knows about September 11,” Johnson declared.
With speculation mounting that the intelligence community may have played deeper roles than previously disclosed, many conservatives are hoping that President Trump will finally blow the lid off what’s been buried for far too long.
“I think so,” Johnson said when asked whether we’ll see public hearings. And if Trump leads the charge, Americans might finally get the truth they’ve been denied for more than two decades.
