TL;DR Summary

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has accepted luxury trips from Republican megadonor Harlan Crow for over two decades without disclosing them, according to documents and interviews. Thomas has vacationed on Crow's superyacht, flown on his private jet, and spent time at his private resort in the Adirondacks. Crow has spent millions on ideological efforts to shape the law and judiciary, but has not had a case before the Supreme Court since Thomas joined it. Thomas' failure to report the gifts appears to violate a law passed after Watergate that requires federal officials to disclose most gifts.
