Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas appears to have failed to repay a “significant” portion of a $267,230 loan from a friend that allowed him to buy a luxury motorcoach in 1999, according to a report released Wednesday by Democrats on the Senate Finance Committee.
The committee said in a memo summarizing its heir findings that the documents it reviewed showed Thomas only paid some interest on the loan before it was forgiven. The committee also said the omission of the forgiven debt from the justice’s financial disclosure forms raises fresh questions about whether he “properly reported the associated income on his tax returns.”
