Thomas Pressured To Recuse In Trump Immunity Case

Newsweek reports:

Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas is facing pressure to recuse himself from a case determining whether Donald Trump can claim presidential immunity from prosecution in a federal indictment against him. Senator Dick Durbin, an Illinois Democrat, suggested Thomas “think twice” about the case.

“There’s been enough information raised about Mr. Thomas and his spouse that he ought to think twice about recusal in this case,” he told CNN’s Manu Raju on Monday. Meanwhile, Trump’s campaign reacted to the Supreme Court decision by accusing Smith of trying to rush a “witch hunt” in a press statement.

Clarence Thomas should recuse himself from *ANY* SCOTUS case regarding Donald Trump and the January 6 Conspiracy — given his wife Ginni Thomas’s communications with members of the Conspiracy (e.g. Mark Meadows), with strategic suggestions for conducting the Conspiracy.

Clarence Thomas must recuse himself from any and all cases involving Donald Trump and the 2020 election. His wife was deeply involved in Trump’s insurrection efforts and Thomas himself has a history of corruption. There is a clear conflict of interest. He CANNOT be involved. pic.twitter.com/PdTjseexXi
