Clarence Thomas Finally Discloses Luxury Travel in Financial Disclosure Filings

HeadlineSep 01, 2023

Beleaguered Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas acknowledged he took four flights on the private jet of conservative megadonor Harlan Crow last year as part of his annual financial filing. He also amended previous filings with allegedly “inadvertently omitted” information. This comes after ProPublica and others revealed Thomas had failed to disclose at least 38 luxury trips from Crow and three other right-wing billionaires for decades. Thomas and his family also sold three properties to Crow. Rhode Island Democratic Senator Sheldon Whitehouse said, “This late-come effort at 'Clean-up on Aisle Three' won’t deter us from fully investigating the massive, secret, right-wing billionaire influence in which this Court is enmired.”
