Occurrences

Today, Senators Elissa Slotkin (D-MI), Adam Schiff (D-CA), and Mark Kelly (D-AZ) introduced the Drain the Slush Fund Act, legislation aimed at dismantling President Trump’s Anti-Weaponization Fund and barring the use of taxpayer money for payments to the President, his associates, individuals convicted of crimes, or those involved in the January 6, 2021 insurrection.

Slotkin backed legislation to stop taxpayer-funded payments and settlements that would benefit Trump, his allies, or January 6 participants.

Evidence

Slotkin joined Schiff and Kelly to introduce the Drain the Slush Fund Act, aimed at stopping taxpayer money from being used for DOJ settlements or presidential-related payments that could benefit the president, associates, convicted individuals, or Jan. 6 participants.

Concrete legislative action toward the promise, but only at the introduction stage; no evidence of enactment yet.

The bill would bar judgments, awards, compromise settlements, interest, or costs for payments arising from a lawsuit or claim filed by the President or Vice President, and the text shows it was read twice and referred to committee.

The operative text matches the promise’s goal, but the referral shows it remained a proposal rather than a completed policy change.

Assessments

never unknown A for effort

Slotkin took a real legislative step by introducing the Drain the Slush Fund Act to block taxpayer-funded DOJ or presidential-related payments benefiting a sitting president, associates, convicted individuals, or Jan. 6 participants, but the evidence shows only introduction and referral to committee, not enactment or implemented policy. That is a serious attempt that did not deliver the promised outcome.
