Did Lloyd Austin Unlawfully Rescind the 9/11 Terrorist Plea Deal?
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin may not have had the authority to revoke the plea deal he promised the 9/11 terrorist attack masterminds.
In July, Austin decided last-minute to rescind a plea deal for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin Attash, and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi after it triggered nationwide outrage.
Austin caved to political pressure after Democrats feared the plea agreements would make the Biden-Harris Administration look bad— especially for Vice President Kamala Harris as she campaigns for the 2024 election.
The terrorist attack masterminds initially agreed to plead guilty to a slew of charges, including the murder of 3,000 people, in exchange for removing the death penalty.
However, a New York Times report suggests a judge will likely shoot down Austin’s decision to revoke a plea deal, saying it was “Too late in the game.” (Read more from “Did Lloyd Austin Unlawfully Rescind the 9/11 Terrorist Plea Deal?” HERE)
