STOP TRUMP ACT Stop Taxpayer-funded Reimbursement for Unlawful...
To amend title 31, United States Code, to prohibit the use of appropriated funds, including the Judgment Fund, to settle or satisfy certain claims involving the President, political associates, or alleged governmental "weaponization", to require repayment of unlawfully disbursed funds, and for other purposes.
This bill, known as the STOP TRUMP ACT, aims to change federal laws so that the government can't use taxpayer money to resolve legal claims involving the President, their close political associates, or accusations of government misuse. If someone wrongfully receives money from the government under these circumstances, they would be required to pay it back.
The bill would impact anyone involved in legal claims that qualify under its provisions, including the President and their associates, by restricting the use of government funds to settle such claims. It could also affect taxpayers, as it seeks to prevent the use of funds that they pay in taxes for these settlements.
HB8885 was introduced on May 19, 2026, and has been referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary for further review. As of now, the bill is in the initial stages of the legislative process and has not yet moved forward to the next steps.
