Justice Clarence Thomas has been mired in controversy over ties to a GOP donor.
Chief Justice John Roberts arrives for the State of the Union address to a joint session of Congress at the Capitol, Feb. 7, 2023, in Washington, D.C.Sen. Dick Durbin, chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee, on Thursday invited Chief Justice John Roberts to testify at a hearing about Supreme Court ethics.
In his letter, Durbin, D-Ill., noted that the last time the Judiciary Committee heard from sitting justices on ethics was in 2011. Durbin told reporters he gave the court prior notice that the letter was coming and that he expected Roberts to receive it Thursday afternoon. Crow, meanwhile, has repeatedly maintained his relationship with Thomas included no wrongdoing and that he never tried to influence Thomas' work on the court.
