Citing the successful prosecution of Donald Trump in several trials held in New York, Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-RI), who chairs the Judiciary subcommittee on federal courts, and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Ron Wyden (D-Ore) are requesting that US Attorney General Merrick Garland appoint a special prosecutor to launch a criminal investigation into Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
One of their allegations is that Thomas failed to declare income for a loan that they say was forgiven. Elliot Berke, an attorney for Thomas, said "Justice Thomas made payments on a regular basis until the terms of the agreement were satisfied in full."
Whitehouse dismissed Berke's explanation, saying "Donald Trump was found guilty and ordered to pay a $500 million fine for paying back a loan in full with interest. All we need is the right venue and the right judge and jury. The fact that the two parties in the loan are satisfied is irrelevant. At the very least, if we get a judge like Juan Merchan who will insist that Thomas must be present every day of his trial he can be prevented from participating in some Supreme Court deliberations."
