Biden Rejects Conditions for Plea Deals in 9/11 Case

“President Biden has rejected a list of proposed conditions sought by the five men who are accused of conspiring in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks in exchange for pleading guilty and receiving a maximum punishment of life in prison,” the New York Times reports.

“An offer by military prosecutors, made in March 2022, that would spare them death sentences if they admitted to their alleged roles in the hijackings, remains on the table… But Mr. Biden’s decision to reject additional conditions lessens the likelihood of reaching such a deal.”
