‘Corrupt as hell.’ ‘Almost cartoonish.’ Democratic lawmakers expressed anger and called for action after a report on luxury vacations gifted to Clarence Thomas.
A ProPublica report revealed Thomas failed to disclose high-end trips from a GOP billionaire.
What’s happening: Democrats expressed outrage Thursday following a ProPublica report detailing Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas being treated to luxurious vacations by a GOP billionaire.
Some background: The in-depth investigative report detailed Thomas accepting luxury vacations from Republican billionaire megadonor Harlan Crow for more than two decades. The justice failed to disclose the trips in financial disclosures — which could potentially violate ethics laws.

Third party response: Outside groups are also weighing in. Revolving Door Project, a nonprofit watchdog group that scrutinizes executive branch appointees, is calling on Durbin to investigate Thomas, and for the House to impeach the justice.
NEW: In response to @propublica reporting on 20+ years of illegally undisclosed gifts from a conservative megadonor, our Executive Director @jeffhauser calls for @SenatorDurbin to investigate, and the House to impeach, Justice Clarence Thomas.https://t.co/Vnd6HNYFVm
