Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas's lavish travel provided by Republican donor Harlan Crow included two more flights aboard the billionaire's private jet that were not publicly disclosed, according to a letter Monday from Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) to Crow's attorney. Wyden, the chair of the Senate Finance Committee, wrote that he is seeking additional information about travel that Crow provided to the justice and additional records because he is concerned that Crow might have improperly used the gifts to lower his tax bills, a claim Crow denies. The two flights add to a long list of travel and other perks Thomas has received from Crow, including private school tuition for a relative and the purchase of the home where Thomas's mother lived in Georgia. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/08/05/supreme-court-clarence-thomas-harlan-crow/
