FAIR Justice Act

This bill would make it a federal crime for the President, the Vice President, their executive office staff, and certain Cabinet-level officials (other than the Attorney General) to knowingly ask Justice Department staff to prosecute or investigate a particular person when the request is made selectively and solely for a political purpose. It would also make it a crime for Justice Department officers or employees to knowingly fail to report such a request to the Department's Inspector General within 45 days. Violations would carry a fine, up to 5 years in prison, or both.
