Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas faces scrutiny over lavish gifts and undisclosed real estate deals with GOP megadonor

For over 20 years, Justice Clarence Thomas accepted expensive vacations, travel, and real estate deals from Republican donor Harlan Crow without proper disclosure.
Thomas is now planning to amend financial disclosure forms to include a 2014 real estate deal with Crow involving over $100,000 that was not previously reported as required by federal law.
Ethics experts argue Thomas violated federal law by not reporting the gifts and say Supreme Court should adopt an ethics code to address such issues.
Democrats have called for a congressional investigation into Thomas’ conduct and some are calling for impeachment, though removal of a justice is unlikely given Republican control of Congress.
The controversy is raising questions about Thomas’ integrity and credibility as well as concerns over the influence of money in politics and on the Supreme Court.
