The Biden administration has rejected conditions that lawyers for defendants in the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks had sought in a possible plea agreement in exchange for guilty pleas, as the president felt the deal wasn’t “appropriate.”

The five defendants put forward multiple conditions, including an end to their solitary confinement and a promise of medical care for the alleged abuses they suffered at the hands of the CIA, a spokesperson for the National Security Council (NSC) said on Sept. 6, according to the New York Post.
