ONSLOW COUNTY, N.C. — The decades-long fight for justice for those impacted by Camp Lejeune's contaminated water is now taking shape in Congress.

An act that would allow those people to sue in North Carolina courts over the water that was contaminated for more than 30 years was introduced in the House Armed Services Committee.

It has been withdrawn because of funding concerns for now, but advocates say its introduction is a big step in getting justice. 

Besa Pinchotti, executive director and CEO of the National Military Family Association, joined Capital Tonight anchor Tim Boyum to talk about the effort.
