Tom Fitton is the president of Judicial Watch, a conservative legal and advocacy organization. He has led the group since 1998 and comments on government ethics, immigration enforcement and public records.
Case
Trump says Ilhan Omar is worth more than $44 million. Omar calls the claim a lie, while amended House disclosures report no positive value for the spouse-owned businesses that drove earlier estimates.
Role at the time: President of Judicial Watch
Response to this claim
Ilhan Omar is worth more than $44 million.
“She and her husband only worth 18k-86k, NOT $6 million-$30 million! Previously unreported "liabilities" erase wealth!”
Relative to Trump's claim that Omar is worth more than $44 million, Fitton says the couple is worth far less. His criticism of the amendment does not change that numerical denial.
