Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton asserted that President Donald Trump should take direct control of an investigation into what he terms the “sedition” and “Russiagate coup” orchestrated by the “Obama-Clinton gang.”
Fitton argues that the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI are too “institutionally conflicted and compromised” to conduct a fair and thorough investigation into their own alleged misconduct.
Many on the right view that investigation as politically motivated and unjustified, pointing to later findings — including the Durham report — that criticized aspects of the FBI’s handling of the case.
Calling the events a “coup,” Fitton implies that there was an unlawful attempt to undermine Trump, driven by partisans within federal agencies and political opponents.
He suggests that only Trump himself, given his position as the alleged victim and outsider to the establishment, could effectively lead such an inquiry.
Critics argue that allowing Trump to head an investigation into matters involving himself would be unprecedented and deeply problematic, raising questions of conflict of interest and the rule of law.
Nonetheless, Fitton’s comments reflect ongoing distrust in federal institutions among Trump’s base and renewed calls for accountability over the origins of the Russiagate controversy.
The debate continues to stoke division over how justice should be pursued in politically sensitive cases.
