"Justice Thomas Hires Law Clerk Amid Racist Text Message Allegations"

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has hired Crystal Clanton, a law clerk accused of sending racist text messages in 2017, to work for him in the upcoming term. Clanton, who denies remembering sending the messages, had previously served as the national field director at Turning Point USA, a conservative student group. Despite the controversy, Justice Thomas and his wife have maintained a close relationship with Clanton, with the justice calling the allegations against her unfounded and expressing disbelief in her being racist.
