The House Armed Services Committee, led by Chairman Mike Rogers, has initiated an investigation into plea deals made with Khalid Shaikh Mohammad and two co-conspirators involved in the September 11 attacks. Rogers expressed outrage over the deal, which allows the terrorists to avoid the death penalty, characterizing it as 'unconscionable' and a 'gut punch' to victims' families. Concurrently, the House Oversight Committee, chaired by Rep. James Comer, has also launched a probe, questioning the Biden administration's involvement in the negotiations. The Pentagon confirmed the plea deals, stating they include guilty pleas to conspiracy and murder in exchange for life sentences, with the men required to answer questions from victims' families. Critics, including family members of victims, have voiced strong objections, arguing that the deals signal a lack of accountability for heinous acts. The investigations aim to uncover the terms of these agreements and ensure justice for the victims of the September 11 attacks.
