Two Democratic Senators asked Attorney General Merrick Garland to launch a special counsel investigation into Clarence Thomas’ ethics and taxes.
Two Democratic senators have called on Attorney General Merrick Garland to open a special counsel investigation into Clarence Thomas.
in a letter released Tuesday, Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island and Ron Wyden of Oregon requested a probe into potential federal ethics violations and the « serious possibility » of tax fraud by the Supreme Court Justice.
Thomas has faced increasing scrutiny over his personal and financial ties to billionaires like right-wing megadonor Harlan Crow, who has treated the justice to lavish international trips, gifts, and tuition for Thomas’s grand-nephew, Mark Martin, to attend expensive boarding schools.
In August of last year, Thomas updated his 2022 financial disclosures to include previously undeclared gifts and vacations from Crow.
