Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D., N.Y.) on Sunday demanded Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas be impeached over his friendship with Texas billionaire Harlan Crow, which was highlighted in a recent ProPublica expose which cited critics who believe the relationship falls afoul of ethics rules.
The ProPublica report revealed that the justice had luxurious domestic and overseas travel covered by Crow, who is a major Republican donor. Crow and his firm have not had a case before the Supreme Court since Thomas was confirmed, but the article claims that the real-estate magnate may have an interest in otherwise unrelated cases that impact the real-estate industry more broadly, though it fails to name any such cases.
The House has an obligation to investigate the relationship, the congresswoman told CNN’s Dana Bash in an interview.
