The Department of Justice Integrity Act of 2026 restricts former federal prosecutors from immediately switching sides to represent the same companies they recently prosecuted. Specifically, any former attorney for the United States who personally worked on a federal prosecution or settlement agreement with a business entity cannot represent that same business entity in related matters for one year after leaving government service. The bill applies to all types of business entities, including corporations, partnerships, and limited liability companies. Violations are subject to the same penalties as other federal ethics violations. The legislation aims to prevent conflicts of interest and preserve public confidence in the Justice Department by closing what sponsors view as an integrity gap in existing revolving-door rules.
