Supreme Court Justice Thomas reveals ties to billionaire GOP donor in financial disclosure

Justice Clarence Thomas disclosed in his annual financial disclosure report that he traveled on a private plane owned by billionaire GOP donor Harlan Crow and stayed at Crow's property in the Adirondacks last summer. This is the first disclosure form filed by Thomas since he came under scrutiny for his relationship with Crow. Thomas' personal attorney stated that there have been no willful ethics transgressions and denounced accusations of violations as "ridiculous and dangerous." The disclosure report also includes details about Thomas' travel arrangements provided by Crow and a real estate transaction between them. The financial disclosure reports from Thomas and Justice Samuel Alito were highly anticipated due to their ties to wealthy Republican donors.
