Judicial Watch, a conservative activist group, has been accused of making false and unsubstantiated claims that have been picked up by right-wing news outlets and promoted by conservative figures. Former U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly cited false claims by Judicial Watch about voter fraud. The group’s president, Tom Fitton, has also been accused of promoting conspiracy theories about Dominion Voting Systems and Smartmatic after the 2020 election.
Judicial Watch has filed a petition for a writ of certiorari to the United States Supreme Court challenging the decision by the House of Representatives judiciary committee that Jordan chairs. The group is one of at least three investigating an alleged “censorship regime” involving academic researchers and the US government.
Judicial Watch has concocted conspiracy theories that have been amplified by conservative and mainstream media. Some experts argue that this is a last-ditch effort to boost Vivek Ramaswamy’s poll numbers. Conspiracy theorists, right-wing influencers, and some Republican politicians immediately cast Biden’s resignation from the campaign as evidence of Trump’s beliefs.
Right-wing activist and influencer Laura Loomer has joined Republican nominee Donald Trump in New York and Pennsylvania as he commemorates the 2020 election. Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton has discussed former President Trump’s legal issues and election-related lawsuits and their impacts on voting rights. Since the Trump era, Fitton and his organization have amplified their efforts on attacking voting rights, filing numerous lawsuits.
