'Not appropriate': Lawyers with Supreme Court business sent Venmo payments to former Clarence Thomas aide

  • Lawyers who have had business before the Supreme Court, including one who successfully argued against race-conscious admissions, made payments to a top aide of Justice Clarence Thomas through Venmo transactions.
  • The payments were seemingly connected to Thomas's 2019 Christmas party, and were made by lawyers who previously served as Thomas's legal clerks.
  • The payments raise ethical concerns and highlight the close ties between Thomas and certain senior Washington lawyers who argue cases before him.
