Wealthy Republican donor Harlan Crow says that both he and his friend, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, are victims of a “political hit job.”
Crow, 73, was thrown into the national spotlight earlier this month when a left-wing media outlet reported that for years the conservative justice had been accepting luxurious vacations from the Texas billionaire without disclosing them in ethics reports. Thomas, 74, said April 7 he was advised he didn’t have to report the trips but said he will follow new reporting requirements imposed on the federal judiciary.
