There are new revelations out of Capitol Hill this week regarding Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and three trips he took on a billionaire's private jet.

Documents obtained by the Senate Judiciary Committee show that Thomas never disclosed the trips he took to Montana, California and Georgia, all on a plane provided by Texas businessman and Republican donor Harlan Crow. Just last week, Thomas officially disclosed that Crow had paid for two other trips the justice went on in 2019, information his financial disclosure report says was"inadvertently omitted" on earlier forms.

These annual disclosure reports, which were released last week and are required by law, are supposed to give a look at just how much outside income, travel and gifts the president-appointed Supreme Court justices receive.

The Supreme Court adopted a new code of conduct last year, though many say there is no enforcement behind it.
