True Pundit is a far-right^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7] fake news website known for publishing conspiracy theories.^[1]^[2]^[4]^[8]^[9]^[10]^[11]^[12]^[13] According to The Atlantic, True Pundit had "a well-known modus operandi, perfected during the 2016 U.S. election: running baseless stories and then asking leading questions".^[14] In 2021 True Pundit stopped publishing new content.^{[citation needed]}

True Pundit was "fluent in the paranoid language of 2016 social media" and often credited false stories about the FBI and Hillary Clinton to anonymous sources and claimed the mainstream media was covering it up. The website helped spread the Pizzagate conspiracy theory and the Plandemic conspiracy theory. It was often promoted by partisan and conspiracy websites and prominent pro-Trump figures, including Donald Trump and Donald Trump Jr.^[1]^[10]^[11]^[15]^[16]

In 2018 True Pundit was accused of stealing content for articles and their YouTube channel was terminated for "spam, deceptive practices and misleading content or other Terms of Service violations".^[1]

True Pundit earned revenue by selling merchandise and advertising with Revcontent, a service that monetized more fake news sites than any other ad network, and briefly worked with the ad firm Intermarkets.^[1]^[17]
