For more than 20 years now, conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has been accepting luxury trips from billionaire and Republican super donor Harlan Crow
ProPublica looked into flight records and internal documents from Crow’s office and interviewed dozens of witnesses. The report found that Thomas has flown on Crow’s private jet on many occasions and has accompanied Crow to Bohemian Grove, an exclusive all-male retreat in California, as well as to Crow’s ranch in Texas.
A real estate developer from Dallas, Crow is the CEO of his own company, Crow Holdings. For years, Crow has contributed millions of dollars to conservative lobbying and other ideological efforts. Crow told ProPublica that he had occasionally extended “hospitality” to the Thomases over the years. As the longest-serving justice on the Supreme Court, Thomas has outlived many justices who he worked with at the beginning of his tenure.Supreme Court justices are generally required to report gifts worth more than $415, classified as “anything of value.” Exceptions for staying or dining with friends exist, but transportation—such as flights on Crow’s private jet—are still supposed to be reported.
