Two Democratic senators have urged Attorney General Merrick Garland to initiate a special counsel investigation into Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. The senators raised concerns about potential federal ethics violations and the possibility of tax fraud by Justice Thomas.
The senators highlighted Thomas's close ties to wealthy individuals, particularly right-wing megadonor Harlan Crow. Crow has reportedly provided Thomas with extravagant gifts, international trips, and even paid for Thomas's grand-nephew's education at expensive boarding schools.
