Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin overrode plea agreement reached earlier this week for Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two other defendants.

Some families of the attack’s victims condemned the deal for cutting off any possibility of full trials and possible death penalties.

Republicans were quick to fault the Biden administration for the deal, although the White House said after it was announced it had no knowledge of it.
