Alito has refused to recuse himself from cases involving Trump and the January 6 Capitol attack amid his ongoing flag controversy.
Former President Donald Trump is congratulating conservative Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito for his 'courage' in refusing to recuse himself from Trump v. United States amid his ongoing pro-Trump flag controversy.Alito has been embroiled in a scandal for weeks over reports of an upside-down U.S. flag and an 'Appeal to Heaven' flag being flown at his Virginia home around the time of the January 6 Capitol attack.
Following the recent publication of photos of an upside-down American flag flying at his home on January 17, 2021, by The New York Times, Alito claimed that his wife, Martha Ann Alito, raised the flag due to a personal dispute and that he was unaware of its placement.The upside-down flag was a popular symbol of the 'Stop the Steal' movement at the time, which falsely claimed that Trump was the victim of massive voter fraud when he lost to Biden in 2020 and aimed to overturn the outcome.
