Justice Alito Recommends Clerk to Trump Day Before Emergency Appeal in Hush Money Case
Jan 9, 2025, 12:58 AM
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito spoke with President-elect Donald Trump by phone on Tuesday to recommend a former law clerk, William Levi, for a job in the new administration. The call took place a day before Trump's lawyers filed an emergency appeal with the Supreme Court to delay his sentencing in a New York hush money case. Alito stated that he was not aware of the impending filing at the time of the conversation and that they did not discuss the case or any other matters that could come before the court. The interaction has sparked controversy, with some viewing it as a breach of protocol given the timing and the nature of the ongoing legal proceedings against Trump.
