A ProPublica report published yesterday claims that Justice Clarence Thomas failed to disclose a 2014 real estate deal he made with GOP megadonor Harlan Crow. The deal involved the sale of three properties in Savannah, Georgia, owned by Thomas and his relatives to Crow, with tax and property records showing that the purchases totalled $133,363. Thomas reportedly failed to disclose the sale of these properties, breaking the Gift Act, and raising questions about his relationship with Crow. This comes just a week after a separate investigation revealed how Thomas and his wife have enjoyed luxury travel, including trips on Crow’s yacht and private jet. Thomas argued he did not need to disclose the travel at the time but new guidelines reveal private transportation and corporate lodging must be reported as gifts. The stories have “forged the fear that the system is rigged, that the wealthy purchase access to power in ways ordinary Americans never could.” The US Supreme Court has yet to adopt its own code of ethics, despite federal judges in lower courts being bound by one.
