Clarence Thomas' Income Claims from Defunct Real Estate Firm Scrutinized

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas claimed on financial disclosure documents that his family received income from a now-defunct real estate firm, Ginger, Ltd., Partnership, launched by his wife and her family, that was shut down in 2006. A new firm was opened under the name Ginger Holdings, LLC, but Thomas continued to claim income from the unused firm. Thomas faces scrutiny for his finances as he serves on the nation’s highest court, including not disclosing luxury vacations paid for by a Republican mega-donor and a 2014 real estate deal with the same donor. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called for Thomas to be impeached over the findings, and Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats have urged Chief Justice John Roberts to investigate Thomas’s reported conduct.
