As Donald Trump and his allies pick high-profile legal fights with prominent Democrats, lawmakers are increasingly taking out liability insurance to protect themselves.
“That’s just, unfortunately, the nature of the job right now and it’s terrible,” one House Democrat told NOTUS. “It’s a terrible way to have to do this work.”
Seeking insurance for legal help isn’t a new concept for Democratic lawmakers; NOTUS reported that at least half a dozen had taken out such insurance before the 2024 election, fearing prosecution from a vengeful Donald Trump as he entered his second term.
