Quick Glance: GOP Donor Pays Tuition For Clarence Thomas’ Relative
- According to ProPublica, real estate magnate and GOP donor Harlan Crow has paid thousands of dollars in tuition for Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’ grandnephew, whom he served as legal guardian, without the justice disclosing it.

- Ethics law experts cited by ProPublica said Thomas should have disclosed the tuition payments as a gift. Former chief White House ethics lawyer Richard Painter told the publication the payments were 'way outside the norm' and 'way in excess of anything I’ve seen.'
