Clarence Thomas plans to amend financial statements after reports, source says.
“It’s good in and of itself. But it doesn’t do the job when he should have reported this years ago,” said activist Noah Bookbinder.that Thomas had never disclosed the sale of three of his family’s properties in Savannah, Georgia, to Harlan Crow in 2014.
The source close to Thomas said Thomas has always filled out his forms with the help of aides and that not reporting the real estate deal was simply an oversight. But the source close to Thomas also tells CNN Thomas believed he didn’t have to disclose the transaction because he lost money on the deal.
This comes on the heels of another ProPublica’ report that Thomas didn’t report luxury travel that he and his wife Ginni took with Crow, including trips on Crow’s yacht and private jet.CNN reported that Thomas also failed to report income or reimbursements at least twice before.
