TL;DR Summary

Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats have asked Harlan Crow, a Republican megadonor, to provide an itemized list of gifts worth more than $415 that he gave to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas or any other justices or their family members. The request comes as Democrats escalate their calls for ethics reforms at the court.
