Rep. danielsgoldman led the group of Democratic colleagues in the House to call for the establishment of an independent investigative unit for the Supreme Court, saying recent allegations 'pose grave threats to the legitimacy of the Court.'
A group of House Democrats called for the establishment of an independent investigative unit for the Supreme Court in a letter on Tuesday, saying recent allegations"pose grave threats to the legitimacy of the Court."
Accusations against Thomas arose earlier this year after ProPublica reported that he took several trips with a billionaire GOP donor and friend, Harlan Crow, trips that were previously undisclosed. Alito allegedly took an expensive trip with a different friend, Paul Singer, to an Alaskan fishing lodge in 2008. Both justices have defended the friendships and trips.
