The U.S. Supreme Court has scheduled an argument for October 8 to address a challenge concerning Illinois’ 14-day post-election ballot counting period. Judicial Watch has been actively involved in multiple legal actions related to election integrity and transparency. They filed a joint status report on July 7 indicating that the Department of Justice (DOJ) and the FBI are still searching for records in response to Judicial Watch’s lawsuit seeking documents related to Jeffrey Epstein. Additionally, the DOJ has filed a statement of interest in a Judicial Watch lawsuit aimed at enforcing federal law to clean up Illinois’ election rolls. Separately, Judicial Watch has initiated a lawsuit against the DOJ for records concerning Thomas Matthew Crooks, who attempted to assassinate former President Donald Trump on July 13, 2024. Calls from public figures have urged the administration to release the Epstein files, highlighting ongoing public and legal scrutiny over these matters.
