Prohibiting Political Prosecutions Act of 2026

S 3874, the Prohibiting Political Prosecutions Act of 2026, prohibits federal prosecutors and law enforcement from considering a person’s political views, associations, or activities when deciding whether to bring charges or investigations. It requires prosecutors to attest in legal filings that political beliefs weren’t a factor, mandates disclosure of exculpatory evidence to grand juries, and allows defendants to seek dismissal if political bias is suspected. The bill also bans White House interference in individual prosecution decisions and requires DOJ staff to report political bias allegations to oversight offices. It directly affects federal prosecutors, FBI agents, and White House staff involved in criminal investigations or prosecutions.
