Congressmen Ask Clarence Thomas To Recuse In Trump Cases
House Democrats on Monday called for U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to recuse himself from a pending case involving former President Donald Trump and the insurrection effort that took place on January 6, 2021.
A letter spearheaded by Rep. Hank Johnson (D-Ga.) and signed by seven other Democrats cites the participation of Thomas' wife, Ginni Thomas, in the far-right scheme to obstruct the certification of the 2020 election results, in which Trump was soundly defeated by President Joe Biden, as reason enough for the Thomas to recuse himself from a question before the court about the former's president immunity from prosecution.
