Biden admin appeals plea agreements with Guantánamo detainees, including 9/11 mastermind
Fox News
The Biden administration is asking for a federal appeals court to temporarily block a plea deal agreement with three detainees in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
On New Year’s Eve, a military appeals court shot down Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin's effort to block the deal between military prosecutors and defense lawyers, saying Austin did not have the power to cancel plea agreements.
Specifically, the court opinion said the plea deals reached by military prosecutors and defense attorneys were valid and enforceable and that Austin exceeded his authority when he later tried to nullify them.
