House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer announced late this week that the Committee has launched an investigation on the Biden-Harris White House following the plea deal accorded to the terrorists behind the September 11, 2001, attack on the United States. 

An extensive review of public opinion after the news of the plea reminded that the terrorists were spared the death penalty after pleading guilty to events of the day which resulted in 2,976 deaths. 

After immense public pressure, the administration canceled the offer upon the discharge of the retiree’s Brigadier General (ret.) Susan K. Escallier who had conducted the plea deal. 

The pretrial agreements saw the mastermind of 9/11, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Walid Muhammad Salih Mubarak Bin ‘Attash, and Mustafa Ahmed Adam al Hawsawi be accorded life sentences in the best-case scenario. 

Comer said that the investigation would seek to understand the administration’s role in the plea deal. Complete copies of the pretrial agreement will be requested. 

“The pre-trial agreements followed 27 months of negotiations and were approved by senior Pentagon officials,” Comer said. “This timeline falls entirely within your Administration.”

The chair added that the administration’s statement that it was ‘uninvolved’ in the process is “unbelievable or inappropriate.” 

“In addition to questions surrounding the White House’s role in this decision, the Committee is also concerned about the complete lack of transparency regarding the deal,” Comer said. “The specific terms of the pre-trial agreements remain undisclosed to the public or families of the victims. You are allowing these terrorists to avoid the death penalty, signaling to our enemies that the United States is reluctant to pursue full justice against those who attack our nation.”

The Committee this week requested that the administration produce a number of documents within two weeks, including unredacted copies of each pre-trial agreement as it was finalized, all communications between any official in White House and officials at DOD related to these agreements or containing references to Muntadheri Sharon Al Hayawi, Yasim R. Muhammed Basardah, or Said Mohammed Salah Hunger (all three terrorists who recently executed such an agreement), and all briefings and/or memoranda prepared for senior White House officials on request by passenger warden-approved detainee preparatory status boards involving AAS detainees.
