Comer opens inquiry into 9/11 plea deals, questions 'lack of transparency'

The House Oversight Committee asked President Joe Biden on Friday to provide Congress with information about any role his administration had in plea deal negotiations with three 9/11 suspects.

Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) said in a letter to Biden that he wanted to understand who was involved in the negotiations and what factors led to the decision to allow the suspects, who are charged with murdering nearly 3,000 people, to avert the death penalty.
