Harlan Crow is the real estate mogul whose frequent gifts of luxury travel to Justice Thomas, who kept the gifts secret, “have no known precedent in the modern history of the U.S. Supreme Court.” Among these undisclosed gifts are superyacht trips across the globe (on which Thomas and Crow were sometimes joined by Crow’s wife Kathy), flights on Crow’s luxury jet, and regular trips to Crow’s posh private resort in the Adirondacks. Harlan Crow and Clarence Thomas have gone together to the Bohemian Grove, an exclusive all-male retreat in California, and Crow funded the private school tuition for a child in Clarence Thomas’ care. Harlan Crow also bought three properties from Clarence Thomas and his relatives (which Thomas failed to disclose), including the house Thomas’ mother still lives in (rent-free and extensively renovated by Crow). Crow also gave $500K to Ginni Thomas’s group Liberty Central, which Leonard Leo was on the board of and which attacked the Affordable Care Act — a law Clarence Thomas later ruled against. That half million dollar gift was used in part to fund Ginni’s salary. Kathy Crow also sits as a trustee overseeing the Manhattan Institute, a group that has filed numerous amicus briefs with the U.S. Supreme Court. Harlan Crow has given a significant amount of funding to FreedomWorks, including at least $100,000 in 2020.
