Fitton is a long-term senior member of the Council for National Policy, a right wing umbrella organization for groups such as Judicial Watch. Fitton is the current President of the Council for National Policy, taking up the role in February 2022. Fitton is known for pro-Trump commentary. Fitton is prominent for criticizing Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 United States presidential election; he has said that the investigation was a "coup" against U.S. President Donald Trump and called for it to be shut down. In 2022, researchers found that Fitton was the third-most prolific purveyor of election misinformation on Twitter during the late months of 2020. Fitton rejects the scientific consensus on climate change; under his tenure, Judicial Watch has filed lawsuits against climate scientists.

​Fitton, Nunes to Newsmax: 'Hard to Imagine' Trump's March Trial Going Forward
​Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton and Trump Media & Technology Group CEO Devin Nunes told Newsmax Thursday that it's "hard to imagine" former President Donald Trump's March trial in the 2020 election interference case going forward now that the Supreme Court is considering two related issues. During an appearance on Newsmax's "The Chris Salcedo Show," Fitton discussed the Supreme Court's decision to rule on whether a man involved in the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol Building can be charged with obstructing an official proceeding. Legal experts say the case has implications for the federal prosecution of Trump. (Nicole Wells/Newsmax 12/14/23)

A Likely Co-Conspirator In Trump’s Georgia Case Got To Ask A Question At GOP Debate
“Many Republicans are concerned about the legitimacy of elections,” said Tom Fitton, president of the right-wing activist group Judicial Watch, who joined in as a guest questioner via a video hookup at the debate that didn’t include Trump. “What should states do now to increase election integrity and voter confidence for the 2024 election?” Fitton asked, directing his question first to Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. Fitton also asked former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie about restoring public faith in federal law enforcement agencies after they had, he said, gone after Trump while treating his 2016 presidential rival Hillary Clinton and the 2020 presidential winner Joe Biden “with kid gloves.”

Donald Trump Ally Accuses Joe Biden of Beating His Dogs
​Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, who obtained emails and records that detailed how Commander bit at least 10 Secret Service agents between October 2022 and January 2023, claimed that a source told the group that Biden physically abuses his dogs, which may explain the "dangerous nature" of the attacks. Fitton—a top Donald Trump loyalist the former president is alleged to have preferred to take legal advice from over his attorneys in the classified documents case—made the claim in an interview on the Just the News show on right-wing streaming, cable and satellite television channel Real America's Voice.

Mornings With Maria August 22, 2023
Tom Fitton on Trump's legal issues: These are indictments about nothing Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton discusses Rep. Jim Jordan issuing subpoenas to IRS and FBI investigators, special counsel David Weiss, and Trump's legal issues.

​Who are Trump's unindicted co-conspirators in Georgia?
​Individual 1 appears, appropriately enough, in the first act described by the indictment—a discussion with Trump that took place four days before the election in which Trump admits that he plans to claim victory and to allege election fraud. The name The Daily Beast puts to the other participant in this discussion is Tom Fitton. That name might not seem all that familiar, but you might find numerous references if you check the spam folder in your email. That’s because Fitton runs the far-right legal scam organization known as Judicial Watch. Those are the guys who make daily claims about how their prowess in court has forced President Joe Biden to turn over some new information that some agency was hiding under a rock. And if you’ll only send them another $5 or $10 or maybe $100, boy will they get that Biden this time! Rinse, repeat, spam five more times tomorrow. It would be really great to have the full text of the conversation as Trump explained to Fitton his whole plan for throwing the election into disruption even before it had happened. Maybe Judicial Watch should get on that.
