Harlan Crow Defies Senators' Requests for Information on Clarence Thomas Relationship
Republican donor Harlan Crow has refused to provide information about his relationship with Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to the Senate Judiciary Democrats, arguing that the committee doesn't have the authority to investigate his personal friendship with Thomas. The committee had requested an itemized list of gifts and real estate transactions that Crow had provided to Thomas or any other justices or their family members. Democrats on the committee are seeking targeted ethics legislation to help restore trust in the Supreme Court.
