Justice Thomas 2022 Financial-Disclosure Form Clears Up Past Errors, Undermines Corruption Allegations

The Judicial Conference released Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’s 2022 financial disclosure form on Thursday, amid heightened scrutiny over his disclosures due to several accusations of ethical impropriety from the mainstream media and left-wing groups.

The disclosure form, along with a statement from Thomas’s attorney, Elliot S. Berke, refutes many of the allegations made against the justice and suggests any errors in past disclosures were inadvertent.

“Justice Thomas’s critics allege that he failed to report gifts from wealthy friends. Untrue,” Berke said in a statement. “He has never accepted a gift from anyone with business before the Court. For anyone who knows him at all, it is clear that no one influences Justice Clarence Thomas’s jurisprudence. But friends are dear, close, and separate. He has included all other reportable gifts on his disclosure forms.”
