House Armed Services chairman responds after Defense secretary reverses 9/11 plea deal
Fox News
House Armed Services Chairman Mike Rogers, R-Ala., said his committee will continue to probe a scrapped Pentagon plea deal with the alleged terrorists behind the Sept. 11 attacks.
"I appreciate that Secretary Austin listened to my concerns and reversed this horrible decision," Rogers told Fox News Digital on Saturday. "However, this plea deal should have never occurred. I still expect the Secretary to provide HASC with answers on how this happened." Chris Pandolfo is a writer for Fox News Digital.

The chairman wrote to Austin on Thursday demanding documents related to the plea deal, including "all documents and communications containing terms, conditions, agreements, side-deals, or any mutually developed, related, conditional, or linked agreements with any party relating to terms and conditions of the plea agreements."
