President Bartlet is a 9/11 Truther?

Sheen grew suspicious [of the factual account of 9/11] after his son Charlie, also an actor, alerted him to apparent contradictions, such as how a structure known as "Building 7" fell.
He said: "However, there have been so many revelations that now I have my doubts, and chief among them is Building 7 – how did they rig that building so that it came down on the evening of the day?
