Truth : Joe Biden + Kamala Harris did not offer 9/11 terrorist plea deals!
This is yet another example of fake news about Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and here are the reasons why…
Fact #1 : 9/11 Masterminds Pleaded Guilty
On Wednesday, 31 July 2024, the U.S. Department of Defense announced that its prosecutors had reached a plea agreement with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Walid Bin Attash, and Mustafa al-Hawsawi – who allegedly plotted the 9/11 attacks in 2001.
The Convening Authority for Military Commissions, Susan Escallier, has entered into pre-trial agreements with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin ‘Attash, and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al-Hawsawi, three of the co-accused in the 9/11 case.
The three defendants agreed to plead guilty to all charges, including the murder of 2,976 people in the September 11 attacks, in exchange for the U.S. government taking the death penalty off the table. They will officially enter their guilty pleas at a plea hearing as early as next week.
To be clear – these 9/11 defendants are not getting away scot-free. The plea deal only removes the death penalty. They will be sentenced by a panel of military officers, and will likely be imprisoned for life.
The defendants also agreed to respond to questions from 9/11 family members “regarding their roles and reasons for conducting” the September 11 attacks, by submitting their responses within 90 days.
Fact #2 : White House Had No Role In 9/11 Plea Deals
While the Biden Administration (like the Obama and Trump Administrations) have tried to close the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, neither President Joe Biden, nor Vice President Kamala Harris, had any role in that plea deal.
A White House National Security Council spokesperson told ABC News that the White House only learned that the Convening Authority for Military Commissions entered into pretrial agreements with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Walid Bin Attash, and Mustafa al-Hawsawi, the same day – on Wednesday, 31 July 2024.
The White House NSC spokesperson also confirmed that President Biden and the White House played no role in the process.
Unsurprisingly, none of those who are claiming or suggesting that President Biden or Vice President Harris were the ones who offered a plea deal to the 9/11 attack masterminds, actually provided any evidence.

Fact #3 : Prosecutors Decided To Accept Plea Deal
It was the Department of Defense prosecutors of the 9/11 case that agreed to the plea deal, as explained in the letter sent to the families of the 9/11 victims:
The decision to enter into a pre-trial agreement after 12 years of pre-trial litigation was not reached lightly; however, it is our collective, reasoned, and good-faith judgment that this resolution is the best path to finality and justice in this case.
I should also point out that the chief prosecutor for this case is Rear Admiral Aaron Rugh, who has served as a lawyer for the U.S. Department of Defense since 1997, through multiple administrations. He was not politically-appointed by President Joe Biden, and is not a member of the Biden Administration.
Fact #4 : 9/11 Families Were Informed Last Year
While the decision may have surprised some people, families of the 9/11 terror attack victims were informed a year ago that the U.S. government was negotiating plea agreements with the September 11, 2001 terror attack masterminds.
The prosecutors had already been in negotiations with the 9/11 terror attack defendants for 1.5 years when the Pentagon reached out to the affected families to inform them that the defendants might not receive the death penalty:
“The Office of the Chief Prosecutor has been negotiating and is considering entering into pre-trial agreements,” or PTAs, the letter said. It told the families that while no plea agreement “has been finalized, and may never be finalized, it is possible that a PTA in this case would remove the possibility of the death penalty
The Pentagon letter, which was dated 1 August 2023, was widely reported by the mainstream media at that time.
In the end, both sides agreed to the plea deal almost one year after that letter, and after 27 months of negotiations that begun in March 2022. Families of the 9/11 victims were the first to be notified of the plea deal, receiving a letter from Rear Admiral Aaron Rugh, earlier on Wednesday.
