GOP megadonor paid tuition of Justice Thomas family member, adding to ethics concerns

Joshua Kaplan, ProPublica:

Yes, so we found that this billionaire Republican megadonor, Harlan Crow, secretly paid private school tuition for Thomas' grandnephew.

And, as you said, I mean, this was not a distant relative of Thomas'. He was his legal guardian. He had taken custody of him at the age of 6. And he said in his own words that he was raising him as a son. And then, for high schools, Thomas sent the child to private boarding school — two private boarding schools, actually, one in Georgia, one in Virginia.

And Harlan Crow secretly footed the bill. So, as you mentioned, we have been reporting on Crow's unusual role helping fund the life of Thomas and his family. And this adds a whole new dimension to that.
