People convicted of assaulting police on January 6 would not get federal legal settlements.
This bill would stop federal money from paying legal settlements to people convicted of assaulting police during the January 6, 2021, Capitol events. If they sue for harm from those events or their prosecution, they would not get federal settlement money.
Today, there isn't a specific rule stopping federal money from being used for legal settlements to people convicted of assaulting law enforcement officers during the January 6, 2021, Capitol events. This bill would create that rule, making sure no federal funds, including money from the Judgment Fund, could be used for such settlements if the claims are about harm suffered during those events or from related prosecutions.
