Investigation by Senate Democrats found that Thomas accepted gifts and travel worth more than $4.75m since 1991

Summary

A Senate report revealed that Justice Clarence Thomas accepted over $4.75 million in luxury travel and gifts from wealthy benefactors, including unreported trips in 2021.

These gifts, described as unparalleled in modern U.S. history, have intensified calls for a binding Supreme Court ethics code.

Critics argue the court’s self-regulated 2023 code lacks enforcement.

Republicans dismissed the investigation as partisan, while Democrats demand stricter oversight.
