INTERVIEW — TOM FITTON – President of JUDCIAL WATCH and author of “Clean House: Exposing Our Government’s Secrets and Lies”

MOCO VOTER ROLLS: Conservative group urges Maryland to do more to weed out ineligible voters — or it will sue. A conservative legal watchdog group said it will sue the state of Maryland unless it takes more aggressive action to remove ineligible voters from the registration rolls of Montgomery County, its largest jurisdiction. In a letter to the Maryland State Board of Elections last week, Judicial Watch cited data showing that there are more registered voters in Montgomery than there are citizens of voting age (18 and over). The group called it “strong circumstantial evidence” that the state’s rolls are swollen by voters who are deceased, have moved away or who are not citizens. Judicial Watch has made similar allegations in more than 90 counties in 11 states, including North Carolina, Florida and Kentucky. Montgomery County, where Democrats have a 2-to-1 registration advantage — is the only Maryland county that was served notice. The group said it will file a lawsuit against Maryland within 90 days unless the state takes corrective action.
WH VISITOR LOGS: White House Says It Will No Longer Release Visitor Logs To The Public. The Trump administration says it will not make public the names of those visiting the White House, reversing the Obama administration’s policy. White House communications director Michael Dubke said in a statement that the decision was due to the “the grave national security risks and privacy concerns of the hundreds of thousands of visitors annually,” NPR’s Scott Horsley reports.(AOL) — Tom Fitton, president of the conservative-leaning watchdog Judicial Watch, said the organization was “disappointed” with the White House’s decision. “Unfortunately, this move is perfectly in line with the policy of the Obama White House to prevent these visitors logs from being processed and released under the Freedom of Information Act,” Fitton’s statement read. “This new secrecy policy undermines the rule of law and suggests this White House doesn’t want to be accountable to the American people,” Fitton said.
DC MAYOR: DC Mayor Bowser leaves and no one knows where she went. Judicial Watch has investigated past DC mayors and found sketchy funding given to mayors for their travel.
