STOP TRUMP ACT

This bill would bar the use of any federal money, including the Judgment Fund, to settle or pay claims brought by the President, the President's immediate family, affiliated businesses, current or former White House political appointees, or people the President designates for compensation, including participants in the January 6, 2021, Capitol attack, when the claims arise from alleged political targeting or government "weaponization." It would also bar federal officials from creating compensation funds or commissions to pay people for alleged political bias or retaliatory investigations, and would make any agreement that violates these rules void. The Department of Justice could not represent the United States in lawsuits where the President is a plaintiff or beneficiary and the relief could benefit the President, family, or affiliated entities. Anyone who received money in violation of the bill, including before it became law, would have to repay it, and the Treasury and Attorney General could recover it through offsets, garnishment, liens, and asset seizure.
