Career
Judicial Watch
Since August 1998, Fitton has served as President of Judicial Watch. The group’s main goal is to gain access to government records through filing the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and other public records act cases and engaging in other forms of civil litigation.
Judicial Watch’s former Chairman, Larry Klayman, attempted to recover control of the group in 2006 by suing Fitton, the organization, and the organization’s other executives and directors. The majority of Klayman’s claims, including all claims against Fitton and the other executives and directors of Judicial Watch, were rejected in 2009.
