A bold new bipartisan bill in Congress seeks to ban campaign cash from funding legal fees for federal candidates facing sexual abuse, assault, or harassment claims—after high-profile dropouts this year exposed the loophole. Spearheaded by Reps. Ro Khanna and Anna Paulina Luna, the legislation argues donor money isn’t meant to be a personal escape fund. Advocates like Reckoning Action’s Cheyenne Hunt stress how survivors are often forced to fight costly legal battles using campaign funds, making this push a crucial step toward accountability.
