Senate Democrats Call for Justice Clarence Thomas's Recusal in Trump Immunity Case

Concerns over potential conflicts of interest due to Thomas's wife's political activism during the 2020 election fuel the calls for recusal.

Senate Democrats are calling for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from a case involving former President Donald Trump's claim of immunity from federal prosecution for alleged crimes committed while in office.
The calls for recusal are based on concerns about potential conflicts of interest due to Thomas's wife's political activism during the 2020 election and her communication with Trump administration officials.
The Supreme Court has agreed to expedite its consideration of the case, with Trump's lawyers asked to respond by December 20.
Democrats have previously called on Thomas to recuse himself from cases involving the 2020 election and the January 6 Capitol attack.
Republicans, including Senator Mike Lee, have dismissed the calls for recusal as 'absurd.'
