  • An appeals court has issued a temporary block on plea agreements for three accused 9/11 plotters.
  • The decision came after a request from the DOJ and Pentagon to halt the deals before a scheduled hearing.
  • The court's order was made shortly before a plea hearing for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and his co-conspirators.
  • The plea deals had previously been agreed upon but were overturned by Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin in August.
  • The DOJ argues that Austin had the authority to revoke the agreements, preventing any commitments from being finalized.
