AOC Files Impeachment Articles Against Justices Thomas and Alito
The move follows allegations of ethics violations and undisclosed gifts, but faces significant political hurdles.
- Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez introduced impeachment articles citing ethics breaches by Justices Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito.
- Thomas is accused of failing to disclose gifts and trips funded by billionaire Harlan Crow, including a yacht trip to Russia.
- Alito faces scrutiny for his wife's political activities and his refusal to recuse from related cases.
- The impeachment effort is unlikely to succeed in the Republican-controlled House.
- Senators Whitehouse and Wyden have also called for a DOJ investigation into Thomas's financial dealings.
