Bipartisan Transparency for American Taxpayers Act

Key Points

• This bill stops the federal government from using taxpayer money to pay out claims from a new program called the Anti-Weaponization Fund.
• The Department of Justice created this fund in May 2026, but this law would cut off its access to federal money, including the general fund used for legal settlements.
• By blocking these payments, the bill aims to increase oversight on how the government spends money on specific legal claims and settlements.
• This effort is led by both a Republican and a Democrat, which suggests that members from both parties have questions about why this fund was created.
