Republican vice presidential nominee Senator J.D. Vance (Ohio) has sharply criticized the Biden-Harris administration for reaching plea deals with three suspects in the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks that allowed them to avoid the death penalty.
A spokesman for the Office of Military Commissions (OMC), which is prosecuting the case of alleged mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and accused co-conspirators Walid Mohammed Salih Mubarak bin Attash and Mustafa Ahmed Adam Al Hawsawi, said: Confirmed To New York Post The court announced Wednesday that it had reached a pretrial agreement with the defendants.
According to the media report, the three suspected al-Qaida terrorists have been held at the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay since 2003.
“In exchange for eliminating the possibility of the death penalty, the three defendants have agreed to plead guilty to all charges contained in the indictment, including the murder of 2,976 individuals,” said the letter, signed by Maj. Gen. Aaron C. Ruff, the chief prosecutor for the Marine Corps in Oman, and addressed to families of the victims of the Sept. 11 attacks.
The letter upset many families of innocent Americans who lost their lives at the hands of al-Qaida, as well as Vance, a U.S. Marine Corps veteran.
“We need a president who will kill terrorists, not negotiate with them,” said Trump’s running mate Said A crowd of supporters gathered at a campaign event in Glendale, Arizona, on Wednesday, shortly after the news broke.
“Just today I heard that the Biden-Harris Department of Justice made a deal with al-Qaida terrorist Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to avoid the death penalty,” Vance continued. “As someone who joined the Marines after 9/11, this is absurd but not surprising.”
He slammed President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris by name but incorrectly identified the prosecutorial agency as the Department of Justice.
Consider where we’ve arrived: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have weaponized the Department of Justice to go after their political opponents, yet they’re making a sweet deal with the 9/11 terrorists.
What we need is a president who will kill terrorists, not negotiate with them.
Vance also said that the current Vice President Southern accent “I’m not a Democrat,” he told a crowd at a campaign rally in Atlanta, Georgia on Tuesday.

“Kamala Harris is a fake who panders to the audience she’s in front of,” Vance said, referring to Harris’ “fake Southern accent.”
“What the hell? Kamala Harris grew up in Canada. She doesn’t speak like that in Vancouver or Quebec or whatever state she’s from. It doesn’t matter,” he added. “It’s the same new Liberal policies, just a different accent.” [depending on] It doesn’t matter who she’s talking to.”
