Senate Democrats push Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from Jan. 6 cases
Fox News
Senate Democrats on Friday called for Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from any case related to the events of Jan. 6 after it was revealed that his wife sent text messages to then-White House chief of staff Mark Meadows about the 2020 election.
Wyden said Thomas should "recuse himself from any case related to the January 6th investigation, and should Donald Trump run again, any case related to the 2024 election."
"Judges are obligated to recuse themselves when their participation in a case would create even the appearance of a conflict of interest," Wyden added. "Justice Thomas participated in cases related to Donald Trump’s efforts to rig and then overturn the 2020 election, while his wife was pushing to do the same. He was the lone dissent in a case that could have denied the January 6th Committee records pertaining to the same plot his wife supported."
