TL;DR Summary

A report by The Washington Post has raised questions about payments made to Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, by Leonard Leo, a conservative legal network head. Leo directed Republican pollster Kellyanne Conway to give Thomas $25,000 and bill it to a nonprofit group he advised, with no mention of Thomas. The payments were made in 2012, the same year the Judicial Education Project, the source of the money paid to Thomas, filed its first amicus brief before the Supreme Court. The report is the fourth in a month to raise ethical questions about Thomas and his financial dealings with rich friends.
