TL;DR Summary

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas did not disclose his sale of properties to Texas billionaire Harlan Crow, a violation of federal disclosure law. Crow's company purchased the properties for $133,363 from Thomas, his mother, and the family of Thomas' late brother. The purchase included the house where Thomas' elderly mother was living, which Crow later renovated. Crow has also gifted Thomas luxury travel for decades. Experts say Thomas' failure to report the transaction suggests he was hiding a financial relationship with Crow.
