WASHINGTON — Justice Clarence Thomas said Friday that in the future, he will disclose free travel that he has taken with Harlan Crow, a prominent Republican donor.
Responding to ProPublica's report on his lavish trips paid for by Crow, Thomas said he had understood that "this sort of personal hospitality from close personal friends" who had no business before the court was exempted from disclosure requirements.
Last month, however, the federal judiciary adopted new rules that said private jet travel paid for by others must be disclosed.
