Far-left Democrat Senator Adam Schiff (D-CA) announced on Thursday which prevents sitting presidents from seeking taxpayer-funded payouts.

Schiff called his bill the No Torts for Trump Act. Pencil-neck’s bill will amend the Federal Torts Claim Act.

According to AXIOS several Democratic Senators signed on to the bill, including: Chris Van Hollen (Md.), Richard Blumenthal (Conn.), Ed Markey (Mass.), Mazie Hirono (Hawaii), Dick Durbin (Ill.), Jack Reed (R.I.) and Jacky Rosen (Nev.).

News broke in late October that President Trump was seeking $230 million payout for compensation for the federal investigations into him, according to people familiar with the matter.

Barack Obama and deep state operatives spied on candidate and President Trump his first term in office based on what they all knew were bogus ties to Putin and Russia.

When President Trump left office, Joe Biden and Democrats filed over 91 charges against the former US President hoping to land him in prison for the rest of his life on Trumped-up charges.

Via Grok:

Donald Trump was indicted on four separate criminal cases between March and August 2023, totaling 91 felony counts across federal and state jurisdictions. These stemmed from allegations related to hush money payments, mishandling classified documents, efforts to overturn the 2020 election results, and election interference in Georgia. However, as of November 13, 2025, all cases have been resolved without further penalties or active prosecutions against him due to his reelection as president in November 2024 and subsequent legal developments. Here’s a breakdown:

JurisdictionDate IndictedStatus as of November 2025
Hush Money Payments New York (State) March 30, 2023 34 counts of falsifying business records (related to payments to Stormy Daniels) Convicted on all counts May 30, 2024; sentencing delayed multiple times; unconditional discharge granted January 10, 2025 (no punishment or penalties imposed).
Classified Documents Florida (Federal) June 9, 2023 40 counts (originally 37, plus 3 more in superseding indictment; related to storing documents at Mar-a-Lago) Dismissed by Judge Aileen Cannon on July 15, 2024 (appointment of special counsel ruled unconstitutional); appeal dropped by Special Counsel Jack Smith on November 25, 2024.
2020 Election Interference Washington, D.C. (Federal) August 1, 2023 4 counts (conspiracy to defraud the U.S., obstructing an official proceeding, etc.; related to January 6 events) Superseding indictment filed August 27, 2024; dismissed without prejudice by Judge Tanya Chutkan on November 25, 2024, following Trump’s election win and DOJ policy against prosecuting a sitting president.
Georgia Election Interference Georgia (State) August 14, 2023 13 counts (originally 10, with 3 dismissed but appealed; related to efforts to overturn results) Paused December 19, 2024; prosecutor Fani Willis disqualified by Georgia Court of Appeals on December 19, 2025; case not dismissed and could potentially proceed with a new prosecutor, but no active prosecution against sitting President Trump under current DOJ/state guidelines.

No new indictments have been filed against President Trump since 2023.

Democrats tried to destroy President Trump who even survived two assassination attempts. Now President Trump wants to be reimbursed for the millions of dollars spent and stress he endured during their attempts to use the US Courts to destroy him, his family, and his supporters.
