Two Democratic lawmakers and a watchdog organization called for inquiries into U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas on Friday, amplifying the push for investigations following recent reports about the justice's relationship and financial transactions with a wealthy Republican donor.
The conservative judge insisted in a rare statement that he believed such “hospitality from close personal friends” did not have to be included on required financial disclosure forms.
The liberal co-hosts of ABC's "The View" criticized Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas for referring to his 1991 confirmation hearing as a "high-tech lynching."
