A military judge has ordered jury selection for the trial of four alleged 9/11 plotters to begin on June 5, 2028.

This date follows a period of prolonged pre-trial proceedings and a 2024 plea agreement that was abandoned by the administration. The trial will proceed without the confessions of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, as a military judge ruled in August 2024 that his statements made to the FBI in 2007 were not voluntary due to previous coercive detention. Prosecutors decided not to appeal the ruling to avoid further delays. Simultaneously, the Supreme Court is considering petitions regarding the legal fallout of the attacks. These include petitions from Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Mustafa al-Hawsawi, and Walid bin Attash seeking to revive plea agreements that were withdrawn by the administration. Additionally, the Supreme Court will consider a petition from victims' families and insurers seeking to access $3.5 billion in frozen Afghan funds held at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, arguing that the Taliban now controls the Afghan central bank.
