This figure was parsed from Justice's FY2027 Congressional Justification, not from a standard budget exhibit. It is approximate and it is not summable with other lines. It is published so you can check it: the citation below names the exact page it was read off. Where a dollar figure matters, verify it there before using it.

The FY2027 President's Budget requests $320.0M for Fees and Expenses of Witnesses, within Justice's Fees and Expenses of Witnesses account. That is up 6.0% on the FY2026 figure of $301.8M, which is the enacted appropriation.

From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Justice's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.

In the agency's own words

What this funds

Pays fact and expert witness fees and related expenses incurred by the government in federal court proceedings.

Extracted from jmd_media_1434256, p. 2. Verbatim; nothing here is paraphrased.

What was actually awarded

Contracts funded by this line

1158 linked contracts. These are obligations — lifetime awarded money — and they are not comparable to the request above and are never added to it. No total is shown: an award linked to several lines is counted in full on each, so the sum would not be a fact.

Linked contracts are a floor, not a census. Coverage is bounded by how distinctively a program is named and, for performer links, to RDT&E and Procurement — O&M and military construction publish no performers. Budget figures are FY2027 request dollars; contract figures are obligations. The two measure different things and must never be summed together.
