Justice Clarence Thomas Under Pressure to Recuse Himself from Trump Cases

Democrats cite potential conflict of interest due to his wife's involvement in efforts to overturn 2020 election results.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is facing calls to recuse himself from two cases involving former President Donald Trump due to potential conflicts of interest.
Democrats argue that Thomas's wife, Ginni Thomas, who reportedly played a role in efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results, creates a conflict of interest.
The cases in question involve whether a former president has immunity from federal criminal indictment and a case related to the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot.
Republicans counter that Thomas is facing undue scrutiny and express confidence in his ability to make the right decision.
Thomas previously recused himself from a case involving John Eastman, a top Trump election attorney, but has not removed himself from other high court matters related to the 2020 election.
