Supreme Court Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito are expected to file their annual financial disclosures on Monday after requesting an extension in June.
Thomas and Alito requested an extension under the Ethics in Government Act, allowing justices to file up to 90 days past the original file date, which is May 15 — making Monday the deadline to submit, according to the Washington Post. The pair have been targeted by Democrats and left-leaning judicial ethics advocates for their relationships with conservative megadonors. Both justices have defended the friendships and trips.
The outlet also published an article that claimed Alito accepted a luxury fishing trip in 2018 from a billionaire who had cases appear before the Supreme Court. While Thomas has remained relatively silent on the reports against him, Alito wrote an op-ed to the Wall Street Journal denying the allegations.
Once a justice files their financial disclosure report, it is reviewed by a committee for completeness and compliance with applicable laws and regulations, and the length of time to review can vary, a source familiar with the matter told the Washington Examiner.
