Schiff targets Trump with bill designed to keep indictments alive

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) is seeking to block former President Donald Trump from dismissing his federal prosecutions if elected to the White House, according to legislation the California Democrat introduced Friday.

The Investigative Integrity Protection Act would prohibit the sitting president from interfering with active criminal cases against him or her, including through coercion of an attorney general by the president or someone acting on the president’s behalf. The bill comes as Trump faces a slew of federal and state charges that will not be resolved until after the 2024 election.
