This bill would prohibit federal prosecutors and investigators from using a person’s political beliefs or activities as grounds for investigation, charges, or arrest. It requires officials to certify their decisions are not politically motivated and allows individuals to sue if they believe they were targeted for political reasons. The bill also bars the President and White House staff from pressuring the Department of Justice (DOJ) in individual cases, mandates that grand juries receive all relevant evidence (including information that could clear a suspect), and requires prompt reporting and confidential congressional disclosure of any allegations of political influence.
