Controversy Surrounds Friendship Between Harlan Crow and Clarence Thomas

Harlan Crow, a real estate magnate and friend of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, believes that he and Thomas are the victims of a "political hit job" by the media and ProPublica, a nonprofit investigative news publication. Crow denies any wrongdoing and claims that the coverage is "factually incorrect and being written with a strong political agenda." The controversy centers around Thomas vacationing at Crow's expense for over two decades without disclosing it and selling his mother's home to Crow without disclosing the transaction. Crow defends his friendship with Thomas and denies any quid pro quo.
