Rep. Jasmine Crockett Introduces the “No Presidential Payouts Act” to Stop Taxpayer Dollars from Covering a President’s Legal Bills

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Rep. Jasmine Crockett (TX- 30) introduced the "No Presidential Payouts Act," legislation that makes one thing crystal clear: the American people should never have to pay a President's legal bills.

The bill prohibits the Department of Justice or any federal agency from using taxpayer funds to cover settlements, reimbursements, or any other costs tied to investigations into the President, their family, or their businesses.

"Let me be clear-if a President ends up in court, that's their problem, not the taxpayers'," said Congresswoman Crockett. "The American people didn't sign up to fund hush money, courtroom battles, or criminal defense teams. Folks in my district are working hard just to make ends meet-they shouldn't be paying for a President's corruption."

The No Presidential Payouts Act closes loopholes that could allow a President-or anyone associated with them-to dip into taxpayer funds for personal legal issues.

The legislation underscores Rep. Crockett's ongoing work to hold those in power accountable and ensure government resources are used to serve the people-not to protect personal interests or political allies.
