EXCLUSIVE — Sen. Ted Cruz and Rep. Nicole Malliotakis sent a letter to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin on Monday denouncing the possibility of a plea deal under consideration that could ensure the suspected architect of the 9/11 terrorist attacks and his fellow defendants never face the death penalty.
“Make no mistake, any outcome short of the death penalty for the September 11th plotters would be completely unacceptable, and constitute a total failure of leadership on the part of the Department of Defense,” Cruz and Malliotakis write in the letter. “The Biden Administration’s decision here appears not to be based on the strength of the evidence or the wishes of the victims’ families, but rather a purely political choice, designed to appease the fringe left of his party,” they said.
In recent weeks, more than 2,000 family members of those killed in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks sent a letter to the White House urging Biden to stop any deal that would allow five prisoners facing charges over the attacks to avoid the death penalty.
