In a recent turn of events, New York Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez expressed her belief that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas should recuse himself from any cases related to the events of January 6th. Ocasio-Cortez cited Thomas' wife, Ginny Thomas, who reportedly participated in the events under investigation by the January 6th Committee.
Ocasio-Cortez argued that Thomas' involvement in ruling on a case that directly implicates his wife's actions would constitute a clear conflict of interest. She pointed to Thomas' previous recusal in a case involving John Eastman, though the justice did not specify the exact reasons for his recusal. Ocasio-Cortez noted that documents sought by the January 6th Committee indicated communication between Ginny Thomas and John Eastman, a fact that raises concerns over potential influence.
