Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is facing renewed scrutiny after failing to disclose additional trips on the private jet of conservative megadonor Harlan Crow. According to Senator Ron Wyden, Chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, Thomas and his wife Ginni took a round trip between Hawaii and New Zealand in November 2010 on Crow's jet, which was not reported on his financial disclosure form for 2010. In a letter, Wyden expressed concerns that Crow may have been providing extravagant gifts to Thomas, potentially writing off these gifts to lower his tax bill. Wyden has referred the matter to the DOJ. This revelation adds to the ongoing ethical questions surrounding Thomas and the Supreme Court's disclosure practices.
