Who this affects: This bill mainly affects the Department of Justice, the President, and people with certain legal claims against the federal government. DOJ would lose the ability to use its funds to approve or help make a personal payout to the President in covered cases. People bringing covered claims could face uncertainty if the President is personally involved and DOJ cannot help process the payment.

That could help avoid conflicts, but it could also make some claims harder to process if the bill does not explain the next step.
