Law
What it does
The bill would bar federal prosecutors, agents, and investigators from weighing a person's political views or activities when deciding whether to investigate or prosecute, or from bringing a case to change those views. It would require signed attestations on indictments and warrants confirming this, and let anyone harmed by a violation sue the responsible official for damages. It would also let judges dismiss indictments after reviewing grand jury records for political bias, and bar the President or White House staff from directing individual Justice Department investigations or charging decisions.
