AOC seeks to have Supreme Court Justice Thomas impeached, calling for an investigation into his past actions.

Democratic U.S. Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez expressed her belief on Sunday that Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas should be impeached and investigated, in response to a media report that detailed luxury trips he has taken over decades funded by a Republican donor. She told CNN in an interview that it is the House's responsibility to initiate an investigation that could potentially lead to impeachment. Although the House has a Republican majority, Ocasio-Cortez pointed to the timeline of Thomas's relationship with Harlan Crow, a Republican donor and real estate magnate, that began after Thomas joined the Supreme Court in 1991, as evidence of a conflict of interest.



ProPublica reported on Thursday that Thomas accepted expensive trips from Crow over decades despite federal laws that require disclosure of most gifts. Thomas responded with a statement on Friday, saying he had been advised he was not required to report that kind of "personal hospitality" but would now adhere to the new rules imposed by the Judicial Conference, which is responsible for the financial disclosure requirements of the entire federal judiciary. Crow also commented, saying he had "never sought to influence Justice Thomas on any legal or political issue." Moving forward, it is evident that Justice Thomas is taking the necessary steps to comply with the new rules, showing his commitment to upholding the law.
