"It took more than
two years of negotiations between military prosecutors and defense attorneys to reach a plea bargain resolving the case against Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two other Guantanamo detainees accused of orchestrating
the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people and launched the U.S. into a two-decade war in Afghanistan.
It took only two days to rip up the deal

"Republicans who reacted with outrage to the plea bargain claimed responsibility for the Biden administration’s intervention into the Guantanamo proceedings.
“
We are glad that Secretary Austin came to his senses, heeded our warning, and decided to take the concerns of 9/11 victims and families seriously,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky and Sen. Tom Cotton of Arkansas said in a statement. “If the administration ever changes course, we stand ready to overturn [through legislation] any future cowardly plea deals with the murderous mastermind of that tragic day.”
