American conservative activist Tom Fitton has reportedly given legal advice to former president Donald Trump amid his Mar-a-Lago property search and current investigations.
Fitton is the president of Judicial Watch and has always been very vocal about his support for Trump and his opinions which has brought him much hate.
Let us learn more about Trump’s new legal advisor, Tom Fitton, his marital status and family life, and his biography and ethnicity.
Is Tom Fitton Married? Wife And Family
Tom Fitton was once married to his wife, Ann Harrison Fitton, who passed away in 2009. Tom had five children with his wife, three daughters, and two sons before her demise.
According to her obituary, Ann was a First United Methodist Church member and a supportive mother of her children. Harrison was a girl scout leader and the chairman of the Harrison Service Unit.
She was both supportive of her husband and his career and her kids but sadly passed away on September 27, 2009.
Fitton does not talk about his family life or marriage in public, but he shared a tweet saying, “BIG: Celebrating 15 years of marriage today with the love of my life! Happy Anniversary, honey!”
Tom has two sons named T.J Fitton and Pete Fitton and three daughters named Christy Fitton Roberts, Lelia Fitton, and Cathy Fitton.
All three of Fitton’s daughters are married and live happily with their husbands. The doting father even shared a picture of him holding his three daughters in one of his Instagram posts.
Tom Fitton, President Of Judicial Watch
Tom Fitton is the president of Judicial Watch, an American conservative activist group filing lawsuits to investigate misconduct claims against government officials.
However, based on Twitter data, Fitton is one of the top three purveyors of election misinformation in 2020. With his lawsuits against climate scientists rejecting the existence of climate change, Tom got himself into numerous controversies and received a lot of criticism from the public.
As the president of Judicial Watch since 1998, Fitton and the group tried to access government records demanding transparency by filing Freedom of Information Act lawsuits.
Tom is on the D.C. Commission on Judicial Disabilities and Tenure as per Trump’s demand, and his term lasts till July of 2025.
Being the conservative activist that he is, Fitton won the American Conservative Union’s Defender of the Constitution Award in 2015.
However, his controversial opinions on the recent pandemic, the election, voter fraud, and climate change have put him through much criticism from the general public and the democrats. Not to mention his latest support for Trump, trying to be his legal advisor even though he is not a lawyer, is not helping.
What Ethnicity Does Tom Fitton Belong To?
Tom Fitton belongs to the White ethnicity as he was born to American parents in West Nyack, New York. Like most of his life details, Tom has kept his parents’ names a secret from teh media.
However, he did mention that his father worked as a manager at a supermarket while his mother worked as a nurse in the service industry.
The 54-year-old activist graduated high school in 1986 from Clarkstown High School South and earned a Bachelor’s degree from George Washington University, focusing in English.
