Incoming Vice President J.D. Vance (R-OH) and other Republicans attacked President Joe Biden's administration for a "sweetheart deal with 9/11 terrorists," but it turns out it was a military court that refused to stop a plea agreement.

Fox News confirms a military appeals court found Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin exceeded his authority when he tried to nullify the 9/11 plea agreements.

The U.S. government earlier this year entered into the plea agreements with Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two other 9/11 suspects, sparing them the death penalty.
