Justice Samuel Alito issues public rebuttal to new report detailing luxury vacation he took with wealthy hedge fund manager who later had business before the Supreme Court.

before it was published. The title of the opinion column reads, "Justice Samuel Alito: ProPublica Misleads Its Readers."

On the issue of not disclosing the trip and travel on his annual form, Alito argued the justices "commonly interpreted" rules regarding hospitality "to mean that accommodations and transportation for social events were not reportable gifts." "At the time of the trip, neither Mr. Singer nor any Elliott entities had any pending matters before the Supreme Court, nor could Mr. Singer have anticipated in 2008 that a subsequent matter would arise that would merit Supreme Court review," the statement continued. "Additionally, Mr. Singer has never discussed his business interests with Justice Alito."
