New allegations about Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas were revealed on Thursday alleging that Justice Thomas “never disclosed” additional trips he took, gifted by Republican donor Harlan Crow, according to the Senate Judiciary Committee.
The Senate Judiciary Committee posted to X, formerly Twitter, saying, “We just revealed new details and private trips gifted to Justice Thomas by Harlan Crow. Justice Thomas never disclosed these, raising further questions about the accuracy of his disclosures.”
Numerous people on social media have since reacted to the news.
Democrat strategist and commentator Simon Rosenberg said on X, “Clarence Thomas is among the most corrupt public officials in the history of the United States. It’s staggering levels of corruption, lying and betrayal.”
Democrat Congressman Bill Pascrell Jr. also said on X, “Clarence Thomas is corrupt as hell and the corruption at the republican Supreme Court stinks to high heaven. Thomas should resign immediately and I urge all my colleagues to demand the same.”
Newsweek has reached out to the Supreme Court via email on Thursday for comment.
This is a developing story and will be updated as more information becomes available.
