Justice Alito Refuses to Recuse from Trump, Jan. 6, 2020 Election Cases Amid Flag Controversy
May 29, 2024, 05:56 PM
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has announced he will not recuse himself from cases involving former President Donald Trump, the January 6 Capitol riot, and the 2020 election, despite calls from Democratic lawmakers to step aside. The controversy arose after flags associated with far-right causes, including the 'Stop The Steal' effort, were flown at his homes. Alito addressed the issue in a letter to Congress, stating that the incidents do not meet the conditions for recusal under judicial ethics. He emphasized that he had no involvement with the flags and had asked for their removal once he became aware of them. Alito's decision has sparked significant backlash from those concerned about potential biases in these high-profile cases.
