The right-wing billionaire patron of Clarence Thomas insisted Monday he never hoped to influence the Supreme Court judge by treating him to pricey vacations, paying private school tuition and even buying his elderly mother’s home.
Harlan Crow, a GOP mega donor, claimed that he didn’t expect to get anything from Thomas in return for the opulent largesse.
“I have never, nor would I ever, think about talking about matters that relate to the judiciary with (Thomas),” Crow said in an interview with the Atlantic magazine, although he later conceded they “would talk about their jobs from time to time.”
