Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has recently come forward to disclose a luxurious 2019 trip to Bali, Indonesia, funded by GOP megadonor Harlan Crowe and his wife. The trip, which included hotel and lodging expenses covered by the Crowes, was initially reported by ProPublica last year. Thomas had previously claimed that he was not obligated to disclose the trip.
ProPublica's investigation revealed a pattern of undisclosed posh travel accepted by justices, prompting questions about the transparency and oversight of the Supreme Court. Thomas' disclosure also included a trip to the exclusive Bohemian Grove in Sonoma County, California, paid for by the same donors.
