Chuck DarwinClarence Thomas has for years claimed income from a defunct real estate firm
Over the last two decades, Supreme Court Justice #Clarence #Thomas has reported on required #financial #disclosure forms that his family received rental income totaling #hundreds of #thousands of dollars from a firm called Ginger, Ltd., Partnership.
But that company — a Nebraska real estate firm launched in the 1980s by his wife and her relatives — has #not #existed since 2006.
That year, the family real estate company was shut down and a separate firm was created, state incorporation records show. The similarly named firm assumed control of the shuttered company’s land leasing business, according to property records.
The previously #unreported #misstatement might be dismissed as a paperwork error. But it is among a series of errors and omissions that Thomas has made on required annual financial disclosure forms over the past several decades, a review of those records shows.
Together, they have raised questions about #how #seriously Thomas views his #responsibility to accurately report details about his finances to the public.
