DEVELOPING: A new report that Clarence Thomas accepted donations from a billionaire GOP donor was met with both renewed criticism of how the justices self-police and renewed calls for oversight and the impeachment of the embattled conservative.
A Thursday report that U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas accepted luxury travel and hospitality perks from a billionaire Republican donor was met with both renewed criticism of how the justices self-police and renewed calls for oversight and the impeachment of the embattled conservative.
Crow is not said to have any direct connection to business before the court and no apparent alleged conflict of interest on that level, but he is deeply connected to GOP politics and, according to ProPublica's reporting, regularly includes conservative power players in gatherings with Thomas. Some progressive lawmakers have joined in pushing for Thomas' removal. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., wrote on Twitter that"this degree of corruption is shocking - almost cartoonish. Thomas must be impeached."
Crow, a prolific Republican donor who amassed a fortune in real estate, has given tens of millions of dollars to various Republican candidates and political groups at the federal level, according to public campaign finance databases. He has been a particularly generous donor to super PACs linked to Republican leadership in Congress, spending hundreds of thousands of dollars on those groups almost every election cycle.
