Protecting the independence of the Department of Justice is the resolution's main aim. It would condemn calls for DOJ to pay $230.0 million to former President Trump and would urge recusal for any DOJ staff with personal or professional ties to him.

Show full summary
  • Families and taxpayers: Opposes taxpayer-funded payouts and singles out a $230.0 million request as improper use of federal funds.
  • DOJ staff and ethics offices: Urges DOJ officials who have worked with or for the President to recuse themselves from reviewing or settling related administrative complaints. The resolution also highlights personnel actions in 2025 that raised concerns about impartial review.
  • Public trust and governance: Affirms that no public office may be used for personal enrichment and calls on all public officials to place the public interest above personal gain while reaffirming DOJ prosecutorial independence.

*If paid, the resolution notes the $230.0 million award would be drawn from federal funds.*
