Judicial Watch Statement on the Inauguration of President Donald J. Trump

(Washington, DC) – Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton made the following statement on President Trump’s inauguration as the 47^th president of the United States:

The Left tried through lawfare and every other trick in the book to derail this electoral victory, but the voters essentially found Trump “innocent” of his political opponents’ fake charges. Trump persevered and triumphed in the courts, as well as in the court of public opinion. Let us hope that his success puts an end to the practice of lawfare for good.  

Democrat-allied prosecutors and judges did their best to derail this presidency, but the people have spoken and now the reversal of the failed (and frequently unconstitutional) policies of the Biden administration are now being reversed. America has reason to hope again for a country that is led by the rule of law.

 President Trump’s first-day executive orders correctly address the border, rule of law, and constitutional crises created by the Biden regime. And his pardons and commutations related to the January 6 defendants are fair, just and brave. 

Judicial Watch remains ready, willing and able to help (and sue) for government accountability as we continue our mission to ensure clean elections, secure borders, and transparency in government – and to thwart the Left’s attack on our constitutional republic through their censorship of free speech and abuse of power.

Judicial Watch is pushing for accountability and transparency in Fulton County, GA, where the court recently issued an order granting “attorney’s fees and costs” in an open records lawsuit for communications Willis had with Special Counsel Jack Smith and the House January 6 Committee. Judicial Watch has also filed a motion asking the court to appoint a special master to oversee her search for records. 

Judicial Watch is a national leader in voting integrity and voting rights. As part of its work, Judicial Watch assembled a team of highly experienced voting rights attorneys who stopped discriminatory elections in Hawaii, and cleaned up voter rolls in California, Ohio, Indiana, and Kentucky, among other achievements.

For instance, in response to Judicial Watch’s inquiries, Washington, DC, officials admitted that they had not complied with the National Voter Registration Act, promptly removed 65,544 outdated names from the voting rolls, promised to remove 37,962 more, and designated another 73,522 registrations as “inactive.” And in November, Judicial Watch filed a petition for a writ of certiorari to the United States Supreme Court challenging the decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in the case filed on behalf of Congressman Mike Bost and two presidential electors from Illinois to prevent state election officials from extending Election Day for 14 days beyond the date established by federal law.

 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.”
