Justice Brett Kavanaugh's attendance at a Christmas party hosted by Matt Schlapp, chair of the American Conservative Union, was a "clear and obvious...conflict of interest," according to MSNBC legal analyst Jill Wine-Banks.
The party took place Friday at the home of Schlapp and his wife Mercedes, who worked on Donald Trump's 2020 presidential election campaign.
Politico revealed the Supreme Court Justice, and a number of prominent pro-Trump Republicans, were guests at the event in Alexandria, Virginia.
Reacting to the news on Twitter, Wine-Banks wrote: "Clear and obvious appearance if conflict of interest. The price of serving on SCOTUS is a restricted social life."
