STOP TRUMP ACT

This legislation aims to prevent the use of Federal funds , including the Judgment Fund , for settling claims related to alleged governmental "weaponization" or political targeting. Specifically, it prohibits payments for claims brought by the President, their immediate family, affiliated entities, or political appointees, as well as individuals designated for preferential compensation, such as those involved in the January 6th, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. The bill also explicitly forbids the establishment of any board, commission, or task force intended to distribute Federal funds based on allegations of political targeting or governmental "weaponization." Additionally, the bill imposes conflict-of-interest restrictions , preventing the Department of Justice from representing the United States in litigation where the President is a plaintiff and the relief sought could financially or politically benefit them or their family. Crucially, it mandates the repayment of unlawfully disbursed funds , even if disbursed prior to the act's enactment, with the Treasury Secretary authorized to offset federal payments and the Attorney General empowered to initiate civil recovery actions, including garnishment and asset seizure.
