Supreme Court Justices Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett received six-figure book advances last year for upcoming book projects, financial disclosure forms made public Thursday revealed.
The disclosure filings of Barrett -- the court's newest member -- shows she received a $425,000 advance from the literary agent Javelin Group, which has represented some of Washington's most prominent figures, like former FBI Director James Comey and former House Speaker John Boehner, in book negotiations.
Gorsuch -- who authored a broad-audience book called "A Republic, If You Can Keep It' in 2019 -- received $250,000 from the publishing company HarperCollins last year, according to his form. The income is listed as "book royalties," but Politico reported Thursday that the amount was an advance for a new book judicial and regulatory policy.
