soon after, noting that the real estate magnate also bought property from Thomas, which the justice also failed to disclose.In 2008, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas decided to send his teenage grandnephew to Hidden Lake Academy, a private boarding school in the foothills of northern Georgia. The boy, Mark Martin, was far from home. For the previous decade, he had lived with the justice and his wife in the suburbs of Washington, D.C.
ProPublica added, “The exact total Crow paid for Martin’s education over the years remains unclear. If he paid for all four years at the two schools, the price tag could have exceeded $150,000, according to public records of tuition rates at the schools.” While Thomas hasn’t yet commented on the latest revelations, Crow told the outlet that he has “long been passionate about the importance of quality education and giving back to those less fortunate, especially at-risk youth.” He called it “disappointing that those with partisan political interests would try to turn helping at-risk youth with tuition assistance into something nefarious or political.
Richard Painter, former chief White House ethics lawyer for President George W. Bush, didn’t quite see it that way. Reflecting on his White House tenure, that an official who had taken what Thomas had would have been fired: “This amount of undisclosed gifts? You’d want to get them out of the government.”
