Clarence Thomas Faces Scrutiny Over Unresolved $267,000 RV Loan

Senators demand clarity as questions mount about potential tax violations tied to the Supreme Court justice's luxury motorhome purchase.

Justice Clarence Thomas received a $267,000 loan in 1999 from a wealthy friend to buy a luxury RV.
Senators Ron Wyden and Sheldon Whitehouse are investigating whether the loan was repaid or forgiven.
Thomas's lawyer claims all payments were made, but has not clarified if the principal was repaid.
Unreported forgiven debt could constitute significant taxable income, raising potential tax law violations.
Thomas has faced multiple ethics scandals, including undisclosed luxury trips and gifts from wealthy donors.
