9/11 terrorist begs judge to send him back to France because he is fearful of execution if Trump is president

A 9/11 terrorist has asked a judge to send him back home to France to avoid the prospect of having Donald Trump order his execution if he is re-elected as president.

Zacarias Moussaoui, who is being held at the Supermax prison ADX Florence in Colorado, wrote to Judge Leonie Brinkema in Virginia that “your honor might concur that there is a possibility of, not a probability, that if the ex-U.S. President Donald Trump was to be reelected, he will sentence me to death by presidential executive order.”

A copy of Moussaoui’s letter, dated May 13 and filed in court two weeks later, was first published on the site Legal Insurrection.

Moussaoui is the only person to be convicted in a US court for his role in the 9/11 conspiracy. In his handwritten letter, Moussaoui argued that he previously agreed to collaborate with US authorities against Al Qaeda operatives such as Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.

During his trial in 2006, he spouted insults, including saying: “You’ll never get my blood: God curse you all,” after he avoided the death penalty, the New York Post reported. He claimed in court that he was supposed to hijack a fifth plane and crash it into the White House before backtracking on that statement.

Following news of Moussaoui’s letter to the judge, a dozen senators have written to President Joe Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland, arguing that the terrorist’s request should be ignored.

Florida senators Marco Rubio and Rick Scott were joined by fellow Republicans, North Carolina’s Thom Tillis, Idaho’s Mike Crapo and Jim Risch, Marsha Blackburn of Tennessee, Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, Mike Braun of Indiana, Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, Ted Cruz of Texas, John Hoeven of North Dakota, and Pete Ricketts of
