Well, this seems a little odd. The GOP platform committee just voted to keep the redacted 28 pages of the 9/11 report classified:
RNC platform committee rejects call to make public 28 pages of 9/11 report. U.S. Rep. Scott Austin, R-Tifton, has endorsed their release.

Donald Trump, Newt Gingrich and many other Republicans have spoken out in favor of releasing this information. What gives?

It was hoped that the RNC would pass a resolution declassifying the 28 pages:
Now debating whether GOP platform should call for declassifying the 28 pages of the 9/11 report on Saudi Arabian involvement.
