No Taxpayer Bailouts for Insurrectionists Act of 2026

This bill would bar the federal government from paying $50,000 or more under a settlement agreement with certain people unless the bill's rules are followed. Covered people include the President, Vice President, cabinet officials, their parents, spouses, children and children's spouses, political appointees, and anyone convicted of a crime related to the January 6, 2021, events at the U.S. Capitol. Before such a payment, the Attorney General would have to report to Congress at least 90 days in advance, listing each payee and amount, the legal reason for the settlement, and an Inspector General certification that it is lawful and ethical. The bill would block all payments under the settlement in Trump v. Internal Revenue Service and would require the Government Accountability Office to study whether spending from that settlement's compensation fund follows federal appropriations law.
