ProPublica, a nonprofit investigative journalism organization, wrote that Texas billionaire Harlan Crow paid Thomas and his family $133,363 for a home and two vacant lots in 2014. According to four ethics law experts who spoke to ProPublica, Thomas' decision to not disclose the sale of the properties could be a violation of a federal disclosure law that requires justices to disclose details about real estate sales over $1,000.
Associate U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas poses for an official photo at the high court in Washington, D.C., on October 7, 2022. A new report alleges Thomas did not disclose the sale of real estate properties to the same GOP donor who reportedly hosted Thomas on expensive vacations.ProPublica wrote that a state tax document and a deed dated October 15, 2014, showed Crow bought three properties in Savannah, Georgia, from Thomas, his mother and the family of his late brother.
Renovations that cost tens of thousands of dollars took place at the one-story home— where Thomas' mother was living—following the purchase by Crow, according to the investigative outlet. These improvements reportedly included repairs to the roof, a new fence and a carport. When Thomas filed a disclosure form for 2014, he did not list Crow's name in a space provided to record the identity of the buyer in any private transaction, according to ProPublica.
"He needed to report his interest in the sale," Virginia Canter, chief ethics counsel at the Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington , told ProPublica."Given the role Crow has played in subsidizing the lifestyle of Thomas and his wife, you have to wonder if this was an effort to put cash in their pockets."
