The Republican mega-donor Harlan Crow paid for the great-nephew of Clarence Thomas, who the conservative supreme court justice raised “as a son”, to attend a private boarding school in Georgia.
“Harlan picked up the tab,” a former school administrator said.
Thomas did not declare the payments.
The report, by ProPublica, stoked a fresh blaze of controversy surrounding Thomas.
Last month, ProPublica detailed extensive gifts from Crow including luxury travel and resort stays which Thomas rarely declared.
ProPublica then showed how Crow bought from Thomas property in which the justice’s mother still lives. That transaction was not declared.
Thomas said he was advised he did not have to declare such gifts but would now follow ethics guidelines.
