Bill would block presidents, vice presidents, and their families from getting immunity for certain crimes.
This bill would stop government agencies, like the Department of Justice, from giving immunity to the President, Vice President, their family, and their businesses. This means these individuals and groups could not be protected from being investigated or charged for certain claims. These claims include financial crimes, insider trading, abuse, and misusing public funds.
Today, Executive agencies, including the Department of Justice, can grant various forms of immunity to individuals, potentially including the President, Vice President, and their associates. If this bill becomes law, Executive agencies would be prohibited from granting such immunity to the President, Vice President, their specified family members, trusts, related companies, affiliates, or presidentially owned entities for a range of claims. These claims include specific financial crimes, insider trading, abuse, and illegal steering of taxpayer dollars.
