Judicial Watch Statement on President Trump’s Election Victory
(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton made the following statement on President Donald Trump’s election victory:
Judicial Watch congratulates President Trump on his remarkable election as 47th president of the United States. The voters broadly and directly repudiated the lawfare targeting Trump, as well as the dangerous government abuses and contempt for the rule of law endemic here in Washington, DC.
President Trump had to overcome unprecedented abuse by corrupt and partisan prosecutors, politicians and judges – all of whom tried to rig the election by smearing, raiding, investigating, prosecuting, trying, convicting, and gagging President Trump.
In short, President Trump needs to clean house. The FBI and Justice Department are irredeemably corrupt. And the government abusers who targeted Trump and other innocent Americans should be subject to criminal investigation. And, as sunlight is the best disinfectant, President Trump should open wide the Deep State files on politicized Deep State lies and corruption – especially its war on the rule of law, constitutional government, our First Amendment and other civil rights.
Judicial Watch is ready, willing and able to help (and sue) for government accountability as we continue our mission to uncover what the government is up to and enforce the rule of law for election integrity, immigration, and against woke discrimination and racism.
In his new book Rights and Freedoms in Peril Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton details a long chain of abuses officials and politicians have made against the American people and calls readers to battle for “the soul and survival of America.” The book details how the progressive movement threatens America’s most venerable institutions, undermining the core principles that make this country a beacon of hope to the world.
Judicial Watch, through open records laws, frequently requests records from the government and sues when it refused to release them, for example:
- Recently, Judicial Watch it uncovered records from the Department of Homeland Security which show, contrary to what it told media, that least one U.S. Secret Service agent broke in to a hair salon and taped over the salon’s security camera in Pittsfield, MA, during a July 27, 2024, campaign fundraising visit by Vice President Kamala Harris.
- In October, Judicial Watch sued on behalf of Stand Together Against Racism and Radicalism in the Services, Inc. (STARRS) against the U.S. Department of Defense for records regarding the U.S. Air Force Academy’s diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) plans.
- In August, Judicial Watch received records from the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA – a component of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)) revealing that CISA is trolling on social media and reporting on alleged “domestic violent extremism” (DVE).
- In May, Judicial Watch reported on a phone message left by an FBI special agent for someone at the Secret Service in the context of the raid on President Trump’s home in Mar-a-Lago, Florida.
- The U.S. Department of Justice is asking a federal court to allow the agency to keep secret the names of top staffers working in Special Counsel Jack Smith’s office that has been targeting President Donald Trump and other Americans.
