“Recent investigative reporting has identified multiple instances in which you or entities you own or control have made payments, purchased real estate, or provided gifts, travel, or other items of value to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and members of his family. Many of these gifts, transactions, and items of value had not been previously disclosed by Justice Thomas, in apparent contravention of the Supreme Court’s April 25, 2023 ‘Statement on Ethics Principles and Practices’ which claimed that Justices since 1991 ‘have followed’ the financial disclosure requirements provided in the Judicial Conference Regulations, and other applicable obligations.”
“You have issued several public statements acknowledging these items of value that you have given to Justice Thomas and his family members. As part of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s ongoing efforts to craft legislation strengthening the ethical rules and standards that apply to the Justices of the Supreme Court, we request that you provide the Committee with certain information by May 22, 2023. This information will help identify specific shortcomings in the ‘Statement on Ethics Principles and Practices,’ as well as current law, that legislation needs to address,” write Senate Judiciary Committee leadership in a not-so friendly letter to right wing extremist Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’s very generous sugar daddy, MAGA billionaire Harlan Crow.
Better late than never after Chief Justice Roberts fucked off on testifying in a hearing.
