FLASHBACK: Dem senator embroiled in conflict of interest row targeted SCOTUS in ethics crusade
Fox News
Before the latest ethics complaint against him was filed, Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse led a campaign against Justices Samuel Alito and Clarence Thomas over what he asserted were ethical violations.
The Democratic senator took particular aim at conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas after several instances of undisclosed travel and trips were reported in 2023. "The Supreme Court justices are so deeply ensconced in a cocoon of special interest money that they can no longer be trusted to police themselves without proper process," Whitehouse claimed at the time.
