Democrats ask chief justice to investigate Clarence Thomas trips: ‘It is your duty’
Eight senators and eight representatives sent Chief Justice Roberts a letter on Friday to urge him to initiate an #investigation into any #unethical and “potentially #unlawful” #conduct that Justice #Thomas might have committed.
The letter states that the court has “barely acknowledged” the allegations so far.
The signers said an investigation should look into #who #accompanied #Thomas on these trips. They said they “have reason to believe” that #Crow is connected to multiple groups that have filed #amicus #briefs to the court, but the public does not know if anyone else on these trips had interests connected to Thomas’ “official duties.”
They said they will urge Congress to act to “restore ethics and accountability” on the court if Roberts does not act.
