Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Summary
The bill stops the use of any appropriated federal money, including the Judgment Fund, to settle lawsuits or compensation claims involving the President, his family, or close associates, or to create programs that reward alleged government “weaponization.” It also forces anyone who received such funds in violation of the law to pay them back, with the Treasury able to offset future payments. The measure aims to prevent taxpayer dollars from being used for political retribution.
