Democrats Demand Clarence Thomas Recuse Himself from Trump Cases
House Democrats are urging Justice Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from the Supreme Court's handling of Donald Trump's bid for immunity in the federal case accusing him of seeking to overturn the 2020 election. The Democrats cited Thomas' wife's alleged involvement in efforts to overturn the election and the court's recent ethics code of conduct. The case is appealing a federal judge's ruling rejecting Trump's bid to dismiss the case based on the argument that he cannot be prosecuted for official actions taken as president.
