Brat (R-Va.) issued the following statement after Congress voted to override the president’s veto of S. 2040, the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act.“Today Congress acted in a bipartisan manner to support the families of 9/11 victims by overriding President Obama’s veto of the Justice Against Sponsors of Terrorism Act. The families of America’s deadliest terrorist attack deserve the truth and I am happy that we were able to support the cause of justice today. This action is long overdue and I am proud to have supported this legislation.”This legislation would allow Americans to sue a foreign state for injuries, death, or damages that occur inside the United States as a result of terrorism, committed by a foreign state or official. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
