Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas travel with conservative businessman Harlan Crow included lavish trips to Indonesia, New Zealand, California, Texas and Georgia, according to the new ProPublica report.

Justice Clarence Thomas said in a statement Friday that he did not disclose luxury travel paid for by a Republican donor because he was advised at the time that he did not have to report it.

In a rare statement sent via the Supreme Court’s public information office, Thomas said that the trips he and his wife, conservative activist Ginni Thomas, took with the donor Harlan Crow and his wife – whom Thomas describes as among his family’s “dearest friends” – were the “sort of personal hospitality from close personal friends” that he was advised did not require disclosure.
