## Summary

**Preventing political prosecutions** is the bill's core aim. It would bar federal personnel from using political or policy beliefs or affiliations to decide whether to bring, drop, or act on criminal charges and add attestations, reporting, and accountability rules. - Federal prosecutors and FBI personnel would have to attest in complaints, informations, indictments, and warrants that political beliefs did not influence charging decisions and that the evidence supports probable guilt. The bill would also create a private right to sue for civil damages against individuals who violate the new rule. - Grand jury and case procedures would change to require disclosure of exculpatory information and witness-impeachment material to grand juries, allow a grand jury vote tally on request, and add limits and in-camera review when dismissals are claimed to be politically motivated. - The White House would be barred from directly or indirectly instructing DOJ charging decisions and DOJ would have to report suspected political consideration to the Office of Professional Responsibility and the Office of the Inspector General. Certain disclosures to congressional committees must follow short timelines including 5 business days for initial notices and a 1-month investigative window with findings disclosed 5 business days after completion.
