Calls for Investigation into Clarence Thomas' Unreported Trips and Gifts

Senate Judiciary Committee Democrats have called on Chief Justice John Roberts to investigate Justice Clarence Thomas' high-end trips paid for by a Republican megadonor. The lawmakers said they would hold a hearing after ProPublica reported that Thomas took various trips over the years paid for by Harlan Crow, a Dallas-based real estate developer who has donated millions to conservative causes. The report detailed how Thomas joined Crow for multiple vacations that included trips on his private jet and 162-foot yacht, with costs estimated in the hundreds of thousands. The lawmakers called for the high court to adopt the binding code of conduct in place for other federal judges.
