Obama Will Veto Bill Allowing 9/11 Families to Sue Saudi Arabia

President Obama will veto a bill allowing families of 9/11 victims to sue Saudi Arabia in U.S. courts, White House press secretary Josh Earnest announced today.

"That is still the plan," Earnest said. "The president does intend to veto this legislation."

The House passed the bill last Friday just before the 15th anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks. The Senate had approved the measure in May. Prior to its passage, the White House had indicated that the president would veto the legislation.
