Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas did not repay a “significant portion” of a $267,230 loan from a wealthy friend, The New York Times reported Wednesday.Thomas, one of the most conservative members of the court, has in the past few months been accused of accepting lavish gifts without disclosing them, including yacht trips, private jet rides, luxury experiences, and business transactions.
“None of the documents reviewed by committee staff indicated that Thomas ever made payments to Welters in excess of the annual interest on the loan,” the report said. In a statement to the Times on Wednesday, he said because the loan was made so many years ago, “bank records — which I have sought — no longer exist. While not a tangible record, I continue to put stock in my contemporaneous belief.
