The Controversial Gifts and Income of Clarence and Ginny Thomas
TL;DR
Conservative activist and lawyer Leonard Leo helped Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, secure nearly $100,000 in consulting work in 2012, while ensuring her name was kept off the financial paperwork. The nonprofit that was billed filed an amicus brief before the Supreme Court in a key voting rights case that same year. This latest scandal comes amid a flood of judicial misconduct allegations against Thomas in recent weeks, including allegations of selling his childhood home to a GOP mega-donor without disclosing the sale and accepting decades of expensive and undisclosed vacations.
