  • Clinton's campaign reported that she left a ceremony commemorating the September 11 terrorist attacks in New York City early because she felt "overheated." After video surfaced online of Clinton appearing to lose her balance before entering a vehicle, the campaign disclosed that she had been diagnosed with pneumonia on Friday. Clinton later told reporters that she was "feeling great."
    • Commenting on Clinton’s leaving the ceremony in New York and the announcement that she has pneumonia, Donald Trump said, “Well, I really just don't know, I hope she gets well soon. I don't know what's going on. I'm like you. I just see what I see. The coughing fit was a week ago, so I assume that was pneumonia also. I would have to think it would have been, so something is going on, but I just hope she gets well and gets back on the trail, and we'll be seeing her at the debate.”
  • Jill Stein released a statement on her website calling for "a comprehensive and independent inquiry into" the September 11 terrorist attacks. She wrote, "It is well known that the 9/11 Commission produced a report containing so many omissions and distortions that Harper's Magazine described it as 'whitewash as public service'—a document that 'defrauds the nation.’” Stein added that there were unanswered questions about what role Saudi intelligence and other intelligence agencies may have played in the attacks.
  • While campaigning in Iowa, Jill Stein said that she would not have assassinated Osama bin Laden if she were president. “I think assassinations … they’re against international law to start with and to that effect, I think I would not have assassinated Osama bin Laden but would have captured him and brought him to trial," Stein explained.
  • President Barack Obama spoke during a memorial service at the Pentagon for the survivors and families of 9/11 terror attacks. He said, “We remember, and we will never forget, the nearly 3,000 beautiful lives taken from us so cruelly -- including 184 men, women and children here, the youngest just three years old. We honor the courage of those who put themselves in harm’s way to save people they never knew. We come together in prayer and in gratitude for the strength that has fortified us across these 15 years. And we renew the love and the faith that binds us together as one American family.”
  • During an interview on Fox News Sunday, Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson said on the 15th anniversary of the September 11 terror attacks that although the threat of a large-scale attack is unlikely, the threat posed by lone wolf terrorists still exists. He said, “Our government’s become pretty good at detecting and preventing something hatched from overseas. We’re better than we were 15 years ago. Where we’re challenged, however, is the lone wolf-style attack.”
