CNBC reports:
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas accepted millions of dollars’ worth of gifts over the past two decades on the bench, a total nearly 10 times the value of all gifts received by his fellow justices during the same time, according to a new analysis.
Thomas received 103 gifts with a total value of more than $2.4 million between 2004 and 2023, the judicial reform group Fix the Court said in its report Thursday.
Fix the Court identified another 101 “likely gifts” — with a total estimated value of almost $1.8 million —that Thomas received in the form of free trips and lodging from the billionaire businessman Harlan Crow, and at the exclusive Bohemian Grove club. Counting those gifts, Thomas’ total two-decade haul is valued at nearly $4.2 million.
