Biden Administration Requests Delay on Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's Plea Deal Related to 9/11

Credited from: ABCNEWS

  • The Biden administration has filed a petition to delay the plea agreement for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged mastermind of the 9/11 attacks.
  • This move comes after a military appeals court ruled that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin did not have the authority to withdraw the plea deal.
  • The plea agreement would allow Mohammed and others to plead guilty in exchange for the removal of the death penalty.
  • The Justice Department argues that moving ahead with the hearings would deny a public trial and the chance for capital punishment.
  • The plea hearing is set to begin on Friday at 9 a.m., with the administration seeking a directive from the civilian courts on Austin's actions.
