House Armed Services Committee Chair Mike Rogers is opening an investigation into the circumstances surrounding the plea deals with the three terrorists who planned the 9/11 attacks, including the mastermind, Khalid Shaikh Mohammad, aka «KSM.»
Rogers called the plea deals «unconscionable.»
He wrote a letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin demanding «all documents and communications containing terms, conditions, agreements, side-deals, or any mutually developed, related, conditional, or linked agreements with any party relating to terms and conditions of the plea agreements.»
«I, along with much of our nation and Congress, are deeply shocked and angered by news that the terrorist mastermind and his associates who planned the September 11, 2001 terror attacks, which killed nearly 3000 innocent people, were offered a plea deal», Rogers wrote in the letter, which Fox News Digital first obtained.
«Tragically, the news is a ‘gut punch’ to many of the victims’ families», Rogers added.
KSM and co-conspirators Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin Attash and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi pled guilty to murder and conspiracy in exchange for the death penalty being taken off the table.
«It is unconscionable that the Biden-Harris Administration would allow such a plea deal.
