Clarence Thomas' Luxury Trips Paid for by GOP Megadonor Raise Conflict of Interest Concerns

Justice Clarence Thomas accepted several luxury trips paid for by a GOP megadonor, according to a report by ProPublica. The report raises questions about potential ethics violations, as federal judges are required to disclose gifts and travel expenses. Thomas reportedly accepted trips to resorts in Montana and Georgia, as well as a private jet trip to Washington, D.C. The GOP donor, Harlan Crow, has also reportedly donated to Thomas' wife's conservative advocacy group.
