Controversy Surrounding Justice Clarence Thomas and Harlan Crow's Relationship
TL;DR Summary
GOP megadonor Harlan Crow bought Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' childhood home in 2014 and allowed Thomas' mother to live there rent-free, saving her an estimated $155,000 in rent. This comes after a ProPublica report revealed Thomas' undisclosed finances and his relationship with Crow, including luxury vacations and gifts. Crow defended the transactions and said he wants to build a museum centered on Thomas' boyhood home. Thomas has faced calls for resignation or impeachment, but legal experts say there are limited options for dealing with corruption on the Supreme Court.
