A lawyer for Republican billionaire donor Harlan Crow has offered to meet with Senate Judiciary Committee staff to discuss Crow’s interactions with Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, according to a letter obtained by dcexaminer.
Michael Bopp, Crow’s attorney, told Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Dick Durbin that he had concerns the panel does not have the authority to investigate Crow’s relationship with Thomas but agreed to meet with staff.
Thomas has been at the center of controversial allegations reported by ProPublica that he went on undisclosed trips at Crow’s expense and that Crow bought property that belonged to the justice’s family. The outlet also reported that the GOP donor bankrolled the private school tuition of Thomas’s grandnephew, who was raised by the justice “as a son.”
