Biden-Harris Admin Puts Death Penalty Back On The Table for 9/11 Terrorists 

The Biden-Harris Administration did a 180 on the infamous plea deal that would have spared the death penalty for 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two other co-conspirators. In a memo Friday evening, Defense Secretary Lloyd J. Austin announced that he is revoking authority from the official who initially agreed to the plea deal and is taking the lead on the case himself, thereby putting the death penalty back on the table.

“I have determined that, in light of the significance of the decision to enter into pre-trial agreements with the accused in the above-referenced case, responsibility for such a decision should rest with me as the superior convening authority under the Military Commissions Act of 2009,” Austin wrote.

“Effective immediately, I hereby withdraw your authority in the above-referenced case to enter into a pre-trial agreement and reserve such authority to myself,” he continued.

“Effective immediately, in the exercise of my authority, I hereby withdraw from the three pre-trial agreements that you signed on July 31, 2024 in the above-referenced case.”

Per Fox News: 

“The defendants are accused of providing training, financial support and other assistance to the 19 terrorists who hijacked passenger jets and crashed them into the World Trade Center in New York City, the Pentagon in Arlington, Virginia, and a field in Shanksville, Pennsylvania, on Sept. 11, 2001.”

The plea deal reversal news comes the same day the House Oversight Committee announced that it is investigating the Biden-Harris Administration’s role in negotiating the controversial plea deal.

In a letter addressed to President Joe Biden Friday morning, Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer wrote, “The Committee is seeking documents and information to understand the role your Administration played in these negotiations and the ultimate decision to forgo seeking the death penalty for three individuals who are charged with, among other crimes, the murder of 2,976 people.”

“In addition to questions surrounding the White House’s role in this decision, the Committee is also concerned about the complete lack of transparency regarding the deal,” Comer continued. “The specific terms of the pre-trial agreements remain undisclosed to the public or families of the victims. You are allowing these terrorists to avoid the death penalty, signaling to our enemies that the United States is reluctant to pursue full justice against those who attack our nation.”
