HR 9355 United States House · 119th Congress

Don't Settle for Corruption Act

The Don't Settle for Corruption Act requires that the Attorney General must submit a report to both houses of Congress for any settlement regarding lawsuits brought against the President or former President by the United States. Before such a settlement can be approved and paid, Congress must pass a specific joint resolution within 60 days of receiving the report. This process ensures that compromise settlements in these high-profile cases receive explicit legislative approval rather than being finalized solely by the executive branch. The law applies specifically to imminent litigation or suits involving the President or former President and mandates that these settlements be handled similarly to court judgments.
