Clarence Thomas pressured to recuse himself from Trump immunity case

Senate Democrats argue justice poses potential conflict of interest because his wife has previously supported Trump's election lies

Senate Democrats are pressuring the supreme court justice Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from deciding whether Donald Trump has immunity from prosecution for alleged crimes he committed while president.

Democrats have argued that Thomas poses a potential conflict of interest because his wife, Ginni Thomas, has previously supported Trump's false claims that the election was stolen, the Hill reported.
