Ginni Thomas, wife of conservative Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, admitted that she attended the “Stop the Steal” rally that preceded the January 6 attack on the Capitol.
Although Thomas disputed claims that she had helped organize the rally, her defense goes against what some journalists have documented. “Three separate sources have told me they believe they saw Ginni Thomas at the Willard on Jan. 6,”
in response to the interview. “That’s the hotel where rally planners had a headquarters and the Trump allies working to overturn the election had a ‘command center.'”has never recused himself from any case that involved his wife’s far right advocacyThere is no formal process requiring justices of the Court to recuse themselves. Rather, they are expected to follow the Judicial Code, though doing so is up to the discretion of the justices themselves.
In the interview, Ginni Thomas defended her activism and her husband’s work on the Court, arguing that their work does not intersect. “Like so many married couples, we share many of the same ideals, principles and aspirations for America. But we have our own separate careers, and our own ideas and opinions too,”However, Justice Thomas recently ruled on a case that now appears to be a possible conflict of interest.
