Several House Democrats have called on Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from the case involving whether former President Donald Trump is immune from prosecution.

In a letter Monday, the House Democrats “strongly implore you to exercise your discretion and recuse yourself from this and any other decisions in the case of United States v. Trump,” wrote the group of Democrats, which included Reps. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.), Jamie Raskin (D-Md.), Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas), and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), among others.
