Alito Confirms Call With Trump About Former Clerk Before Hush Money Sentencing Appeal
Jan 9, 2025, 02:53 AM
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito confirmed that he spoke with President-elect Donald Trump on Tuesday, a day before Trump's lawyers filed an emergency appeal to the Supreme Court to delay his sentencing in a New York hush money case. Alito stated that the conversation was focused on recommending his former law clerk, William Levi, for a government position in the incoming administration. Alito emphasized that they did not discuss the emergency application filed by Trump's legal team, nor were they aware at the time of the call that such an application would be filed. The call has raised concerns about potential ethics and protocol violations, given the timing and the nature of the ongoing legal proceedings involving Trump.
