This legislation passed the House and the Senate unanimously earlier this year. “Families and survivors deserve a way to seek justice and closure against alleged supporters of the 9/11 terrorists," Senator Manchin said. “Families of the victims of 9/11 have been waiting far too long for their day in court and I am glad to vote in support of them again today. This legislation demonstrates that we stand with these victims and signals that we are serious about prosecuting terrorists and those who fund them.” ### | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
