that Thomas took various trips over the years paid for by Harlan Crow, a Dallas-based real estate developer who has donated millions to conservative causes.
The report detailed how Thomas joined Crow for multiple vacations that included trips on his private jet and 162-foot yacht, with costs estimated in the hundreds of thousands. Supreme Court justices are required to file annual financial disclosures under federal law, but Thomas in a statement on Friday indicated he “was advised” that the trips did not have to be disclosed because they fell under a personal hospitality exception.
