Wealthy Dallas-based Republican donor Harlan Crow bankrolled the private school tuition of Justice Clarence Thomas's grandnephew, who was being raised by the justice"as a son," according to a new report.
It has been reported Thomas went on undisclosed trips at Crow’s expense and that Crow also bought property that belonged to the justice's family. Those reports prompted Democrats in the Senate to unleash complaints and allegations about a lack of ethical oversight on the Supreme Court, leading to a hearing this week in the Senate Judiciary Committee on whether Congress can impose new rules to regulate the highest court.
— Mark Paoletta May 4, 2023 "The Thomases — quietly and honorably — devoted twelve years of their lives to helping a beloved child in desperate need of love, support, and guidance. In 1997, Justice Thomas and his wife brought their great nephew to live with them. They agreed to take in this young child much as Justice Thomas’s grandparents had done for him and his brother in 1955.
Paoletta called the report on Thomas"malicious" and"another attempt" to tarnish the justice's legacy.
