For over 20 years, SCOTUS Justice Clarence Thomas has “accepted luxury trips virtually every year” from Harlan Crow, a real estate developer and GOP donor, without disclosing them. The paid vacations have been to anywhere from Bohemian Grove to Indonesia.
For more than two decades, Thomas has “accepted luxury trips virtually every year” from Harlan Crow, a Dallas-based real estate developer and GOP donor, without disclosing them, according to the report. The places Thomas reportedly visited include destinations such as a 2019 trip to Indonesia, a cruise to New Zealand nearly a decade ago, and even a trip to the exclusive all-male retreat known as Bohemian Grove in California.
Why did Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas keep these ultra luxury gifts from a GOP donor secret? Because Justice Thomas knew it was wrong to accept these secret gifts. The report was also accused of unfairly targeting Thomas, such as a critical tweet from Philip Kerpen, a free market policy analyst and political organizer, decrying ProPublica as a"left-wing 'charity'" that is mad"Clarence Thomas has a rich friend."
“My wife Kathy and I … have never asked about a pending or lower court case, and Justice Thomas has never discussed one, and we have never sought to influence Justice Thomas on any legal or political issue,” Crow said in a statement sent to the Washington Examiner. As an associate justice, Thomas makes an annual salary of $285,400, according to the National Taxpayers Union Foundation. While the ProPublica report cited several ethics experts and former judges who condemned Thomas's trips, there are few restrictions on what gifts justices can accept in comparison to prohibitions for members of Congress.
