Aderholt voted yes on House passage of the Stop Settlement Slush Funds Act, which would bar settlement agreements from directing payments to third parties and require annual reporting and IG audits.

Assessments

never unknown

The cited action was Aderholt's yea vote on H.R. 788, the Stop Settlement Slush Funds Act, which addressed federal settlement agreements directing payments to third parties and related reporting/audits. That does not match the promise's specific subject: transparency and accountability for Members of Congress using taxpayer funds to settle legal claims. The evidence shows support for a different oversight measure, not delivery or a serious attempt on the promised congressional legal-claims settlement reform.
