Clarence Thomas Acknowledges Taking Lavish Trips Paid For By Republican Billionaire
HuffPost
The Supreme Court justice's annual financial disclosure was released Friday.
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’ latest financial report belatedly acknowledges that he took multiple lavish vacations paid for by Republican billionaire Harlan Crow.
Thomas’ annual financial disclosure report, which confirms at least two of the trips first described in a 2023 ProPublica report, was released Friday.
The trips are detailed on the second-to-last page of the document, where, under a section allotted for “additional information or explanations,” Thomas describes two 2019 trips that were “inadvertently omitted” from his previous disclosures.
One, a July 12, 2019, trip to Bali, acknowledges he was a guest of Harlan and Kathy Crow, who covered the cost of food and lodging.
According to the document, Thomas then took a second vacation on Crow’s dime a week later at a “private club” in Monte Rio, California. The city is home to Bohemian Grove, an all-male, invitation-only retreat.
