Justice Clarence Thomas is belatedly acknowledging more travel paid for by Republican megadonor Harlan Crow, while several colleagues reported six-figure payments as part of book deals
WASHINGTON — Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson collected nearly $900,000 last year for her upcoming memoir, one of four Supreme Court justices who reported sizable income from book deals.
Justice Clarence Thomas is belatedly acknowledging more travel paid for by Republican megadonor Harlan Crow, while several colleagues reported six-figure payments as part of book deals. Thomas, who has faced criticism for failing to report luxury trips paid for by Crow and others over many years, said in his annual financial disclosure Friday that, in 2019, Crow paid for a hotel room in Bali, Indonesia, for a single night, and food and lodging at a private club in Sonoma County, California. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson reported a nearly $900,000 advance for her upcoming memoir and four tickets to a Beyoncé concert valued at $3,700 from the singer herself. The reports offer a partial picture of the justices' finances.
