A bill to prohibit funds made available to the Department of Justice from being used to make a personal payment to the President in connection with a claim that is subject to the Federal Tort Claims Act, whether in the form of a settlement or any other payment from the Judgment Fund for the personal benefit of the President.

This bill would bar the Department of Justice from using any of its funds to approve or help process a claim under the Federal Tort Claims Act that results in a personal payment to the President. The ban covers settlements and any other payments from the Judgment Fund, a federal account used to pay court judgments and settlements against the government, made for the President's personal benefit. The ban would apply to funds given to the Department before, on, or after the date the bill becomes law.
