Apology Letters Unveiled: Trump Lawyers' Admission in Georgia Election Case

Apology letters from three attorneys who pleaded guilty in the Fulton County election interference case have been revealed, with two of them consisting of just a single sentence. Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro apologized for their involvement in the events in Coffee County and Count 15 of the indictment, respectively. Meanwhile, Scott Hall's apology spanned nearly a page, expressing regret for his post-election activities. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis, the prosecutor on the case, stated that shorter apologies would suffice. Willis also mentioned the possibility of more co-defendants taking plea deals, potentially leading to a trial involving former President Donald Trump in the days leading up to the 2024 presidential election.

Plea Negotiations Offer Hope of No Death Penalty for 9/11 Defendants

The Pentagon and FBI have informed families of the 9/11 attack victims that plea agreements are being considered for the suspected architect of the attacks, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, and his co-defendants, which could eliminate the possibility of the death penalty. The prosecution of the case has been plagued by delays and legal disputes, particularly regarding the use of torture during interrogations. Some families expressed outrage at the potential resolution without a verdict, while others called for accountability and the opportunity to question the defendants about any Saudi official involvement in the attacks. The case has been on hold pending an examination of one defendant's competency, with hearings set to resume in September.
