FILE - Associate Justice Clarence Thomas joins other members of the Supreme Court as they pose for a group portrait in Washington, Oct. 7, 2022. The Democratic chairman of the Senate Finance Committee said Monday, Aug. 5, 2024, that Thomas failed to publicly disclose additional travel on GOP megadonor Harlan Crow's private jet. Senator Ron Wyden of Oregon wrote to Crow's lawyer asking about the trip. Wyden is backing an election-year push to tighten the high court's ethics rules.
Wyden’s letter demands additional information about private jet and superyacht trips. “I am deeply concerned that Mr. Crow may have been showering a public official with extravagant gifts, then writing off those gifts to lower his tax bill,” he wrote. The letter was first reported by The New York Times.
Democrats, including President Joe Biden, are separately pushing for changes to the high court, and seeking to capture voter attention in an election year after ethical revelations about some justices, including trips by Thomas and Justice Samuel Alito.
