Report reveals Justice Clarence Thomas accepted costly gifts, including wedding reception expenses
Justice Clarence Thomas accepted lavish gifts, including his wedding reception, according to a New York Times investigation. Scrutiny of Thomas has increased following revelations of unreported gifts and trips. The investigation also revealed Thomas' relationship with billionaire GOP donor Harlan Crow, who provided gifts such as private school tuition and vacations on his yacht. The report focuses on Thomas' association with the Horatio Alger Association of Distinguished Americans, which provided him with access to a luxurious lifestyle. The Supreme Court has no formal code of ethics, leading to calls for clearer rules on conflicts of interest.
