"Justice Clarence Thomas Reveals Private Flights with Harlan Crow, Addresses Ethics Concerns"

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas disclosed that he accepted five private jet flights from GOP megadonor Harlan Crow in 2022, citing reasons such as an ice storm and increased security risk. Thomas also acknowledged staying at Crow's estate and receiving reimbursements for transportation, meals, and lodging. While Thomas did not amend past reports to include these private flights and hospitality, he listed previously omitted information such as personal bank accounts and a real estate transaction with Crow. The controversy surrounding Thomas' financial disclosure compliance has led to calls for tighter rules and independent oversight. Thomas pledges to comply with disclosure guidelines going forward.
