New scrutiny on Clarence Thomas' school fees.

Billionaire Republican donor Harlan Crow paid private school tuition fees for the grandnephew of US Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, according to a report by ProPublica. Crow said he often paid tuition fees for pupils "from personal funds". The revelation is the latest in a series of reports by ProPublica, which last month revealed Crow had treated Justice Thomas and his wife to lavish holidays. Under long-standing rules, Supreme Court justices are required to file annual disclosures of gifts. There's been renewed scrutiny of ethics and disclosures at America's top court.
