Justice Clarence Thomas reports additional trips funded by GOP donor Harlan Crow

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas acknowledged previously unreported trips overseas paid for by his friend, conservative businessman Harlan Crow. The trips, including one to Bali in 2019, were not disclosed in his 2019 financial report but were included in his amended 2023 financial disclosure forms. Thomas stated that the hospitality from close personal friends, who did not have business before the Court, was not reportable based on advice he received early in his tenure. The amended filing also included vacations to Bali and an exclusive California club paid for by Crow. The financial disclosures of other Supreme Court justices were also released, detailing gifts, travel, and earnings from books and teaching. These disclosures provide insight into the justices' activities outside the court. The reports have garnered attention due to revelations about ties between some justices and wealthy donors, particularly Justice Thomas accepting lavish gifts and travel from affluent friends over the years. Justice Jackson reported a significant advance for her upcoming book in her financial disclosure.
