Wherever Clarence Thomas goes, controversy seems to follow. And the Supreme Court Justice’s latest scandal has him traveling all around the world—all on one billionaire GOP mega-donor’s dime.
While Roy Wood Jr. did his best to tease the story while guest hosting The Daily Show on Thursday night, the jig was up when he uttered “Supreme Court Justice” and “major corruption scandal” in the same sentence.
According to a new ProPublica story, “For over 20 years, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has been treated to luxury vacations by billionaire Republican donor Harlan Crow.” Though Crow, a real estate developer, swore to ProPublica that he and his wife “[H]ave never sought to influence Justice Thomas on any legal or political issue.”
