BREAKING: Conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is hit with a devastating new bombshell as reporters reveal that he may have committed โcriminalโ acts as a new report shows his corruption โis more extensive than previously known.โ
But it gets WAY worse for Thomasโฆ
According to the new ProPublica report, Thomas had also enjoyed โnumerous flights on private planes, skybox tickets to sporting events, stays at luxury resorts, and a standing invitation to play at a high-end private golf club in Florida.
The new report is the most scandalous and broadest look yet at how Thomasโ social circle has funded โ with limited disclosure to the public โ a regular stream of extravagant excursions and events since he became a Supreme Court justice. These costly trips and travel perks often went unreported on the justiceโs financial disclosure forms, ProPublica found in its investigation.
This latest investigation unearths a pattern of gifts to Thomas from Crow and three other billionaires who have been major contributors to Republican causes: David Sokol, the former heir apparent of Berkshire Hathaway; the late H. Wayne Huizenga, who made his vast fortune in his ownership of Blockbuster, Waste Management Inc. and other major companies; and Paul โTonyโ Novelly, who formerly owned an oil company.
ProPublica interviewed more than 100 people, including staff that would have worked some of the trips that Thomas took. It also reviewed records obtained from the US Marshals Service, tax court filings, and personal photographs.
Sokol acknowledged in a statement to ProPublica that he hosted the Thomases. โWe have never once discussed any pending court matter,โ Sokol said. โOur conversations have always revolved around helping young people, sports, and family matters.โ
โAs to the use of private aviation,โ he added, โI believe that given security concerns all of the Supreme Court justices should either fly privately or on governmental aircraft.โ
Both the lack of transparency about his financial relationships with Republican megadonors, and the jet-setting lifestyle heโs enjoyed because of those friendships, put Thomas out of step with how lower court judges and other government officials approach their ethical obligations, legal experts told ProPublica.
Jeremy Fogel, a former judge who for years reviewed lower court judgesโ financial disclosures, told ProPublica the amount of undisclosed gifts Thomas received is unlike anything heโs ever seen.
โIn my career I donโt remember ever seeing this degree of largesse given to anybody,โ said Fogel. โI think itโs unprecedented.โ
The new revelations also raise questions about whether Thomas broke the law.
