The Department of Defense announced Wednesday that declaration agreements it had arrived with three defendants detained at Guantanamo Bay, including alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. According to reports, the three prisoners are spared the death penalty, seconds in the New York Post, which cited three unnamed relatives of 9/11 victims who were briefed by the government about the settlement.
Thousands of family members of 9/11 victims have done so before pressed Biden administration against pursuing plea deals with 9/11 defendants and numerous Republicans he hit the decision to sign pretrial agreements as a “national embarrassment” after the news broke Wednesday.
The White House, however, distanced itself from the decision, saying it only “learned” about the plea deals after the fact.
“The White House learned yesterday that the Military Commissions Convening Authority entered into plea agreements, negotiated by military prosecutors, with KSM and other 9/11 defendants,” a National Security Council spokesman said in a statement. the White House at the Daily Caller News Foundation. “The president and the White House played no role in this process. The president has directed his team to consult, as appropriate, with Defense Department officials and lawyers on this matter.”
The White House did not immediately respond to follow-up questions about whether President Joe Biden supports the plea deals or has any plans to try to intervene.
The 9/11 attacks were the worst in US history and claimed the lives of nearly 3,000 innocent people. The US soon after began the war on terror, in which thousands of American service members died.
