The promise was to support stronger conflict-of-interest and ethics standards for federal judges and Supreme Court justices, not necessarily to secure enactment. Johnson directly sponsored H.R. 3513 in 2025 to create a Supreme Court code of conduct and strengthen ethics, disclosure, and recusal rules, and introduced H.R. 9784 in 2026 to require covered judges, justices, and family members to place certain assets in qualified blind trusts. Those are material federal legislative actions during his current House term that match the promised support.
