Pressure Grows on Clarence Thomas to Resign as ProPublica Finds More Undisclosed Lavish Trips, Gifts
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1ecerTqjwxE&ab_channel=DemocracyNow%21
In the wake of ProPublica's bombshell report detailing even more lavish #gifts from #rightwing #billionaires to Supreme Court Justice #ClarenceThomas, five House Democrats are calling on the Justice Department to #investigate Thomas under the #Ethics in Government Act for accepting the series of gifts from wealthy #benefactors without following #disclosure laws. Federal judges are required to disclose gifts worth more than $1,000 — including travel. ProPublica's report documents Justice Thomas accepting 38 destination #vacations, 26 #privatejet flights, 12 VIP #passes to sporting events and eight #helicopter flights, all paid for by wealthy #patrons. We speak with co-author of the #ProPublica #investigation Brett Murphy about the process of revealing these lavish gifts and why even other #judges consider it "an unprecedented amount of #largesse for a justice to be accepting, let alone accepting and not disclosing."
