Senate to hold hearing on supreme court justice’s trips, demand investigationThe Senate judiciary committee will hold a hearing on conservative supreme court justice Clarence Thomas’s travel with Republican mega-donor Harlan Crow, and has demanded chief justice John Roberts investigate his activities, Reuters reports.
It was not immediately clear when the hearing would take place. On Thursday, ProPublica reported that Thomas had for years accepted flights on private jets and stays in exclusive resorts from Crow, who is linked to a number of conservative causes.
