Tom Fitton, President of Judicial Watch, delivers a high-stakes update on the organization's election integrity and government accountability work. He announces that Judicial Watch has successfully removed over 6 million allegedly ineligible names from voter rolls nationwide, citing landmark lawsuits and settlements in states like Colorado, Oregon, California, and D.C. The effort, rooted in the National Voter Registration Act, aims to clean up voter rolls by removing inactive or ineligible voters, a process Fitton argues is essential to prevent election fraud. He emphasizes that this work is being done despite resistance from left-leaning states and highlights the importance of the upcoming Supreme Court decisions on late ballot counting and candidate standing in election challenges. Fitton then shifts to a more urgent and disturbing topic: the FBI's delayed release of documents related to the 2024 assassination attempt on former President Trump in Butler, Pennsylvania. He reveals new FOIA-obtained records showing that shooter Thomas Crooks had an altercation with Trump supporters and made hateful comments minutes before the attack—information the FBI had withheld for years. Fitton condemns the Secret Service’s failure to act, calling the agency dysfunctional and a threat to presidential safety. He also details the weaponization of the justice system against Trump allies, including the controversial raid on Rudy Giuliani’s home and the disbarment of legal figures like Dr. John Eastman, framing these as part of a broader 'deep state' lawfare campaign. The episode concludes with a call to action: support Judicial Watch financially, share their findings widely, and remain vigilant about government overreach.
