Evidence

unverified · Source version 66108 · locator unknown

GovInfo bill text shows H.R. 9355 was introduced in the House on June 18, 2026 by Mr. Larson of Connecticut and referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. The bill amends 28 U.S.C. 2414 so covered settlements require a congressional joint resolution within 60 days before approval; covered settlements include compromise settlements for litigation by the President or a former President against the United States, agencies, or officials upon U.S. obligations or liabilities.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Official bill text confirms Larson introduced legislation limiting federal settlement approval for presidential litigation-related obligations, closely matching his promise to support a bar on executive tax-obligation-altering agreements involving a sitting President.

Larson announced the Don’t Settle for Corruption Act to require congressional approval before DOJ can spend taxpayer dollars on any legal settlement resolving a case involving the President, the President’s immediate family, or any business entity they own or control. His office said it would block an addendum to Trump v. IRS that would bar government investigation of tax returns filed by the Trump family and their companies without explicit congressional authorization.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Larson’s official announcement directly ties the bill to barring a settlement addendum affecting tax obligations/investigations of the President, family, and controlled entities. No newer lookback-window source showed enactment, reversal, or abandonment.

The promise was to support legislation, not necessarily to secure enactment. In the same federal House term, Larson introduced H.R. 9355, the Don't Settle for Corruption Act, which would require congressional approval for covered settlements involving the President, immediate family, or controlled entities and was specifically framed as blocking agreements affecting Trump-family tax-return investigations. That materially satisfies the promised support for legislation, even though there is no evidence it became law.
