Clarence Thomas failed to disclose more private jet travel, senator says

Senate finance committee learned of additional undisclosed travel on Harlan Crow's jet, says Ron Wyden

The conservative supreme court justice Clarence Thomas failed to disclose more private travel on a jet owned by the rightwing mega-donor Harlan Crow, a Democratic senator said on Monday, amid a swirling ethics scandal and demands for judiciary reform.

I am deeply concerned that Mr Crow may have been showering a public official with extravagant gifts, then writing off those gifts to lower his tax bill," Ron Wyden of Oregon, the Senate finance committee chair, told a lawyer for Crow in a letter.
