Justice Samuel Alito blasted ProPublica ahead of a looming report he preemptively called 'misleading' based on a series of questions he received from the left-wing nonprofit.
Associate Justice Samuel Alito took a preemptive strike against the left-wing nonprofit ProPublica over what he asserts is"misleading" reporting it is set to publish.
"ProPublica has leveled two charges against me: first, that I should have recused in matters in which an entity connected with Paul Singer was a party and, second, that I was obligated to list certain items as gifts on my 2008 Financial Disclose Report. Neither charge is valid," AlitoAlito first addressed the recusal inquiry, insisting it"would not have been required or appropriate" despite any alleged ties to the businessman and GOP mega donor.
He went on to stress that Singer's name did not appear on any petitions or briefs relating to the cases the mega donor was allegedly associated with, saying"Because his name did not appear in these filings, I was unaware of his connection with any of the listed entities, and I had no good reason to be aware of that" and that the entities presented to him by ProPublica were either"limited liability corporations or limited liability partnerships," adding it would...
He continued,"For these reasons, I did not include on my Financial Disclosure Report for 2008 either the accommodations provided by the owner of the King Salmon Lodge, who, to my knowledge, has never been involved in any matter before the Court, or the seat on the flight to Alaska."
