The closest the Supreme Court has to a villainous John Grisham character, Justice Clarence Thomas finally chose to officially disclose the lavish gifts from his billionaire benefactor Harlan Crow, CBS News reports, an acknowledgment that happened so far after the barn door closed, a new subdivision stands where the farm once was.
In the May 15th filing, Thomas amended the 2019 gift disclosure to include two trips he took with Crow and his wife–presumably Ginny Thomas attended as well–to Bali and to Monte Rio, California. Thomas claims the entries were “inadvertently omitted at the time of filing,”
As reported here Thursday night, an independent watchdog group found Thomas had received more than $4 million in gifts during the last two decades while on the Supreme Court, and appeared to have reported less than 10% of them.
