TL;DR Summary

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has requested an extension to file his annual financial disclosure amid an ethics controversy over accepting luxury trips and other gifts from Republican billionaire Harlan Crow. Thomas will have up to 90 more days to submit his required disclosure. The other seven justices filed their disclosures on time. The revelations sparked harsh criticism of Thomas for failing to disclose the ties, and calls for ethics reform of the Supreme Court. The Democratic-led Senate Judiciary Committee has sought information from Crow about his relationship with Thomas, but the billionaire has stonewalled those requests.
