Raskin Insists Justice Thomas Must Recuse from Trump-Related Cases

Representative Jamie Raskin is calling for Justice Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from any Supreme Court rulings related to former President Donald Trump's eligibility for the 2024 ballot. Raskin's request stems from Thomas's wife, Ginni Thomas, being involved in efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. Ginni Thomas had sent messages to Trump's chief of staff, Mark Meadows, and later expressed regret to a congressional committee investigating the January 6 Capitol attack. Raskin, a member of that committee, argues that Justice Thomas's impartiality could be compromised due to his wife's actions. States like Colorado and Maine have removed Trump from primary ballots, invoking the 14th Amendment, while other states are considering similar actions, setting the stage for a potential Supreme Court decision on the matter.
