Clarence Thomas’ Corruption Scandal Just Got Worse
Hot on the heels of ProPublica’s bombshell report that GOP megadonor Harlan Crow treated Clarence and Ginni Thomas to ultra-luxury travel that was never disclosed comes new ProPublica reporting about Crow’s purchase of Clarence Thomas’ mother’s home, plus two other properties that was also undisclosed.
Crow bought the properties in 2014, according to official records provided to ProPublica. They were all co-owned by Thomas, his mother and the family of Thomas’ late brother. Thomas’ failure to disclose the sale is almost certainly a violation of federal disclosure law, according to four experts ProPublica consulted. That’s not counting all that Crow-funded superyacht island hopping and private jetting to exclusive locations that Thomas enjoyed and also failed to disclose.
But wait, there’s more: ProPublica found records showing that Crow also spent $36,000 on improvements to Thomas’ mother’s home, including a carport, a repaired roof and gates.
