Senate Democrats demand transparency on gifts to Supreme Court justices.
TL;DR Summary
Senate Judiciary Democrats have requested information from GOP megadonor Harlan Crow on all gifts and payments exceeding $415 given to any Supreme Court justice or family member, as well as an itemized list of real estate transactions and trips. The Democrats also sent letters to the holding companies that own Crow’s private jet, private yacht, and Topridge Camp. The recent revelations come amid a lack of American confidence in the Supreme Court, pointing to recent polling. Meanwhile, Crow is declining to provide information sought in a separate letter by Senate Finance Committee Chair Ron Wyden.
