Controversy Surrounds Clarence Thomas' Financial Disclosure Forms and Income Claims

Justice Clarence Thomas plans to amend his financial disclosure forms to reflect a 2014 real estate deal he made with a GOP megadonor, acknowledging that the transaction should have been disclosed almost a decade ago. The deal involves the sale of three Georgia properties, including the home where Thomas’ mother currently lives. Thomas has come under fire for not reporting luxury travel that he and his wife took with the donor. Critics say Supreme Court justices should be more transparent about their lives off the bench, and members of Congress have asked the court to adopt a formal ethics code.
