For more than two decades, U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has accepted luxury trips virtually every year from real estate magnate and Republican megadonor Harlan Crow without disclosing them, propublica reports.
In his statement to ProPublica, Crow said he is “unaware of any of our friends ever lobbying or seeking to influence Justice Thomas on any case, and I would never invite anyone who I believe had any intention of doing that.”Crow has deep connections in conservative politics. The heir to a real estate fortune, Crow oversees his family’s business empire and recentlyMarxism as his greatest fear.
Crow said that he and his wife have funded a number of projects that celebrate Thomas. “We believe it is important to make sure as many people as possible learn about him, remember him and understand the ideals for which he stands,” he said. Touring the Lesser Sunda Islands, the group made stops at Komodo National Park, home of the eponymous reptiles; at the volcanic lakes of Mount Kelimutu; and at Pantai Meko, a spit of pristine beach accessible only by boat. Another guest was Mark Paoletta, a friend of the Thomases then serving as the general counsel of the Office of Management and Budget in the administration of President Donald Trump.
