About This Bill
Committee
Latest Action · June 8, 2026
Read twice and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
This bill prohibits federal funds from being used to pay legal settlements for the President or for the President's personal or political benefit, and it blocks funding for any commission or mechanism created to provide such compensation. The legislation specifically references blocking an "Anti-Weaponization Fund" announced by the Attorney General in May 2026. Instead of allowing those federal funds to be used for presidential settlements, the bill redirects $1.776 billion to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (food stamps) to help address rising grocery costs for low-income Americans. The funding comes from general Treasury resources rather than existing appropriated money. This bill affects federal spending priorities by preventing presidential legal payouts while increasing support for food assistance programs.
