Senators Request Special Counsel to Criminally Prosecute Justice Clarence Thomas for Ethics and Tax Violations
Jul 9, 2024, 06:06 PM
Senators Sheldon Whitehouse and Ron Wyden, both Democrats, have requested Attorney General Merrick Garland to appoint a special counsel to criminally prosecute Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas for potential violations of federal ethics and tax laws. The senators expressed concerns that inaction could lead to further crimes. This request follows public reports over the past year suggesting possible misconduct by Justice Thomas, including accepting travel and lodging from wealthy benefactors. The call for a special counsel, detailed in a letter to AG Garland, aims to ensure that no government official is above the law.
