In a statement accompanying Thursday's disclosure, a lawyer for Thomas said there had been 'no willful ethics transgressions' and called prior reporting errors 'strictly inadvertent.'
Thomas also said he"inadvertently omitted" information in previous disclosure reports, including a life insurance policy for his wife worth $100,000, and a bank account that had less than $70,000 in 2018.
Thomas also offered details of a real estate deal involving Crow and members of Thomas and his family. Crow paid $133,000 for three homes in Georgia, including one where Thomas's mother lives. The justice"and his wife had put between $50,000 to $75,000 into his mother's home in capital improvements over the years, and therefore, the transaction amounted to a capital loss.
The disclosure follows scrutiny of Supreme Court justices and their ethics filings. ProPublica reported this year that for probably two decades, Thomas and his wife, Ginni Thomas, went on lavish trips around the globe paid for by Crow and that Crow paid the private school tuition for Thomas' grandnephew and bought properties owned by Thomas and his family.
In a statement accompanying Thursday's disclosure, a lawyer for Thomas said there had been"no willful ethics transgressions" and called prior reporting errors"strictly inadvertent." The statement also criticized what it described as a"partisan freeing frenzy," calling it"political blood sport."
