Bill > HR118

This bill, titled the "No Federal Funds for Political Prosecutions Act," prohibits state and local law enforcement agencies from using funds obtained through asset forfeiture (money or property seized during criminal investigations) to investigate or prosecute the President, Vice President, former President or Vice President, or a candidate for the presidency. Specifically, law enforcement agencies must certify to the Attorney General that they will not use these forfeited funds for such investigations. If an agency fails to comply with this requirement, the Attorney General can withhold any future asset forfeiture transfers to that agency, including seized property or proceeds from property sales. The bill defines "candidate" using the definition from the Federal Election Campaign Act, which typically means an individual who has publicly declared their intention to run for office and has received or spent money in connection with their campaign. This legislation appears aimed at preventing potential politically motivated prosecutions by restricting the use of certain law enforcement funding sources.
