Two Senate Democrats are calling on Attorney General Merrick Garland to appoint a special counsel to investigate conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas for possible violations of ethics and tax laws.
Associate Justice Clarence Thomas joins other members of the Supreme Court as they pose for a new group portrait, at the Supreme Court building in Washington, Oct. 7, 2022. Thomas is absent from the court on Monday with no explanation. …
Last year, a series of articles published by ProPublica detailed Justice Thomas’ failure to disclose gifts and trips. In the letter, the lawmakers say the undisclosed gifts and income could be worth millions of dollars. They said senators do not have the power to prosecute, and the high court doesn’t have its own “fact-finding function, making the executive role all the more important.”
