Larry Klayman has stepped down as Chairman and General Counsel of Judicial Watch to pursue other endeavors. Tom Fitton, who is President of Judicial Watch, said in a statement issued to the press: "Larry conceived, founded and helped build Judicial Watch to the organization it is today, and we will miss his day to day involvement. Judicial Watch now has a very strong presence and has become the leading non-partisan, public interest watchdog seeking to promote and ensure ethics in government, and Larry leaves us well positioned to continue our important work."
