AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would bar the federal government from using the Treasury's Claims and Judgment Fund to pay the President, any relative of the President, or any entity tied to the President or a relative for costs they incurred in a criminal or civil matter to which they are a party. It would also bar the use of any other federal funds to compensate these same people or entities for such costs. The ban on the Judgment Fund applies even though existing law (31 U.S.C. 1304) otherwise allows that fund to pay settlements and judgments.
