## Resource

A viral theory claims the U.S. government lost trillions before 9/11 to cover up the attacks—but it’s a myth. The number, 2.3 trillion, was actually cited by Donald Rumsfeld in 2001 to highlight Pentagon accounting chaos, not missing funds. It came from a February 2000 audit showing unverified financial entries—not evidence of a secret disappearance. Context matters: this was about outdated systems, not a cover-up.
