Prohibiting Political Prosecutions Act of 2026

The Prohibiting Political Prosecutions Act of 2026 prohibits federal prosecutors and investigators from using a person's political views, activities, or associations to decide whether to bring criminal charges or investigations. It requires all criminal complaints, indictments, and warrants to include an attestation that the case wasn't motivated by political reasons and that evidence meets the trial standard, while allowing victims to sue officials for damages if prosecuted politically. The bill also mandates that grand juries be informed of exculpatory evidence and impeachment information, and bans the White House from directing individual criminal cases. These changes aim to prevent politically motivated prosecutions by adding transparency, accountability, and civil remedies.
