Clarence Thomas and Koch trending on social media

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has recently come under scrutiny for his association with the Koch network.

ProPublica, a nonprofit journalism organization, conducted an investigation that exposed instances of corruption, ethical violations, and a disregard for the law by Justice Thomas. 

The investigative report, published on September 22, 2023, revealed that Clarence Thomas secretly participated in Koch network donor events.

Thomas's attendance at at least two Koch donor summits raised concerns, as the network has brought multiple cases before the Supreme Court.

The Koch Network is an ultra-right political organization founded by billionaire brothers Charles and David Koch, known for its right-libertarian views.

According to the report, Thomas's presence at fundraising events was meant to encourage donors by providing access to a senior judge with right-leaning tendencies.

Justice Thomas was reported to have flown on a private plane to a Palm Springs event in 2018, which he failed to disclose in his annual financial disclosure

Additionally, Thomas had undisclosed connections with real estate giant Harlan Crow, including luxury vacations and a real estate sale benefiting Thomas's mother
