S 4124 United States Senate · 119th Congress

A bill to prohibit funds made available to the Department of Justice from being used to make a personal payment to the President in connection with a claim that is subject to the Federal Tort Claims Act, whether in the form of a settlement or any other payment from the Judgment Fund for the personal benefit of the President.

This bill prohibits the Department of Justice from using federal funds to make personal payments to the President in connection with claims under the Federal Tort Claims Act. It specifically bars the use of settlement money or payments from the Judgment Fund for the President's personal benefit when such claims are filed against the government. The law would prevent the Justice Department from approving or facilitating any such claims that result in direct financial compensation to the President. This measure applies to all claims made before, on, or after the bill's enactment date.
