Don't Settle for Corruption Act

This bill changes federal law on how the government pays settlements of lawsuits and claims brought against the United States. It defines a "covered settlement" as any settlement of a claim or suit brought by a sitting or former President against the United States, its agencies, or its officials. The Attorney General would have to send Congress a report with the terms of any covered settlement. A covered settlement could not be approved or paid unless Congress passes a joint resolution approving it within 60 days after receiving the report.
