Evidence
Last Action Date Listed: April 15, 2026. Action: Mr. Raskin (for himself and Mr. Min) introduced the following bill; which was referred to the Committee on the Judiciary. Sponsors: Jamie Raskin (MD). Cosponsors: Dave Min (CA).
Assessments
Dave Min cosponsored H.R. 8309, the Ban Presidential Plunder of Taxpayer Funds Act, introduced April 15, 2026, which closely matches the promise by restricting presidential and vice-presidential damages or settlement payments from the federal government and adding disclosure/guardrail provisions. The bill was referred to the House Judiciary Committee and there is no evidence it has passed or become law as of the current assessment date, so the promised policy outcome has not been delivered. Because Min materially advanced matching legislation during his federal term, effort credit is warranted, but final delivery remains unresolved rather than delivered or never.
