H.R. 8885 — STOP TRUMP ACT

This section prohibits the use of federal funds, including from the judgment fund, to settle or pay claims by the President, immediate family members, affiliated entities, current or former Executive Office political appointees, or individuals designated by the President—including January 6, 2021, Capitol attack participants—for alleged political targeting or governmental weaponization. It also bars the establishment of any compensation funds or commissions for such claims and voids violating agreements.

This section prohibits the Department of Justice from representing the United States in any litigation in which the President is a plaintiff or beneficiary and the relief sought includes monetary damages, injunctive relief, or settlement authority that could financially or politically benefit the President, the President’s family, or affiliated entities.

This section requires any recipient of Federal funds disbursed in violation of this Act, including before enactment, to repay the full amount to the Treasury. It authorizes the Secretary of the Treasury to offset such obligations against any Federal payments owed to the recipient and directs the Attorney General to initiate civil actions for recovery through garnishment, attachment, liens, asset seizure, and other remedies.
