The conservative justice Clarence Thomas has attended at least two donor events organized by the Koch network, the ultra-right political organization founded by the libertarian billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch, which has brought multiple cases before the supreme court, according to the latest revelations by ProPublica on the judge, his friends and financial disclosures.
Thomas was brought in to speak at the fundraising events in the hope that access to one of the most senior and right-leaning judges on the US supreme court would encourage the network’s wealthy donors to keep giving, three former Koch network employees and one major donor told the non-profit investigative news outlet.
