Supreme Court Justice Alito defends himself against ProPublica's travel report

Supreme Court Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. responded to questions raised by ProPublica about his travel with a politically active billionaire in an op-ed published by the Wall Street Journal. Alito's column was published before ProPublica's story, which detailed his relationship with billionaire hedge fund manager Paul Singer, including their trip to an Alaskan fishing resort in 2008. The story also noted Alito's omission of the trip on his financial disclosure forms, which some ethics experts say could violate federal disclosure laws. Alito denied any conflict of interest and defended his decision to accept Singer's "hospitality."
