\n \n Former US President Donald Trump told golfers that they should join the controversial Saudi-backed LIV Golf Invitational Series and \u201ctake the money now,\u201d as the breakaway series prepares for its next event at Trump National Golf Bedminster, New Jersey, from July 29- 31.\n <\/p>\n \n \u201cAll of those golfers that remain ‘loyal’ to the very disloyal PGA, in all of its different forms, will pay a big price when the inevitable MERGER with LIV comes, and you get nothing but a big ‘thank you’ from PGA officials who are making Millions of Dollars a year,\u201d Trump wrote on Truth Social Monday.\n <\/p>\n \n \u201cIf you don’t take the money now, you will get nothing after the merger takes place, and only say how smart the original signees were.\u201d\n <\/p>\n \n His comments come as families of 9\/11 victims urged him to cancel the tournament, citing LIV Golf’s Saudi backing, according to a letter sent to Trump Sunday.\n <\/p>\n \n The dispute of Saudi government complicity with the attacks on September 11, 2001, have long been the subject of Washington. Fifteen of the 19 al Qaeda terrorists who hijacked four planes were Saudi nationals, but the Saudi government has denied any involvement in the attacks.\n <\/p>\n \n The 9\/11 Commission established by Congress said in 2004 that it had found \u201cno evidence that the Saudi government as an institution or senior Saudi officials individually funded\u201d al Qaeda.\n <\/p>\n \n Still, the victims’ families have pushed for further disclosures, and last year, the FBI released a document that details their work to investigate the alleged logistical support that a Saudi consular and a doubt Saudi official intelligence agent in Los Angeles provided to at least two hijackers.\n <\/p>\n \n \u201cThe Saudi nation is largely responsible for the death of our loved ones and for the horrific attack on America. And you know it,\u201d 9\/11 Justice, which represents survivors and family members of the terrorist attacks, said in the letter.\n <\/p>\n \n Brett Eagleson is an advocate for the group and his father, John Bruce Eagleson, was among those who died during the World Trade Center attacks. Eagleson told CNN the decision to host the tournament is \u201cunconscionable.\u201d\n <\/p>\n \n In the letter, he says the decision has caused \u201cdeep pain and anger\u201d among constituents, given Saudi Arabia’s alleged role in the attacks and material support of al Qaeda, as outlined by FBI reports.\n <\/p>\n \n \u201cThe FBI notes that much information has come to light since the 9\/11 Commission published its report in 2004,\u201d Eagleson writes in the letter, \u201cand refers repeatedly to the existence of US-based Saudi ‘support networks’ for the 9\/ 11 hijackers.\u201d\n <\/p>\n
