      Clarence Thomas Discloses Three 2022 Flights on Right-Wing Billionaire's Private Jet

      Democratic Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse said the filing "won't deter us from fully investigating the massive, secret, right-wing billionaire influence in which this court is enmired."

      Right-wing U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas revealed Thursday that he took three flights on the private jet of conservative billionaire Harlan Crow last year, a disclosure that came more than four months after ProPublicareported that the powerful judge has been accepting luxury trips from the Texas real estate magnate for decades.

      The trips are outlined in Thomas' required financial disclosure for 2022. Last May, according to the document, Thomas flew on Crow's private jet to Dallas, where the justice delivered a keynote address at a conference held by the right-wing American Enterprise Institute.

      Petition Demands Alito Recuse From Student Debt Cases Tied to Billionaire Benefactor

      "The appearance of corruption—your ties to Mr. Singer, and his ties to organizations with business before the court in Brown and Nebraska—clear the high ethical bar you established for yourself at your confirmation hearing in 2006."

      A petition circulated Friday demands that U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito recuse himself from a pair of cases that will decide the fate of President Joe Biden's student debt relief proposal, citing the judge's ties to a billionaire GOP megadonor who funds conservative groups fighting to kill the president's plan.

      Earlier this week, ProPublicapublished a bombshell expośe revealing Alito took a previously undisclosed 2008 luxury fishing trip to Alaska on a private jet belonging to Paul Singer, whose hedge fund repeatedly had cases before the Supreme Court from which Alito declined to recuse himself.

      'Keeps Getting Worse': Alito Took Undisclosed Private Jet Trip With Billionaire Hedge Fund Titan

      The investigative outlet ProPublica reported late Tuesday that U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito took an undisclosed private jet flight to Alaska in 2008 with billionaire Paul Singer, whose hedge fund repeatedly had business before the high court in subsequent years.

      Alito refused to answer questions for the ProPublicastory, opting instead to pen a Wall Street Journalopinion piece attempting to prebut the outlet's contention that his private jet trip with Singer was likely a violation of a federal law requiring Supreme Court justices to disclose most gifts.
