Protecting Our Courts from Foreign Manipulation Act of 2025

This bill requires transparency in civil lawsuits involving foreign-funded litigation. It mandates that parties disclose any foreign entity (including foreign states or sovereign wealth funds) providing funding tied to case outcomes, along with detailed certifications about funding sources. Parties must submit these disclosures within 30 days of filing or entering an agreement, and the court may void agreements violating the rules. The bill also requires annual reports to Congress detailing foreign funding sources, amounts, and case types. It directly affects foreign entities funding U.S. civil cases and federal courts handling such cases.
