Clarence Thomas receives extension for annual Supreme Court financial disclosures

• In the annual report, each justice must list outside income, gifts that are worth more than $415 in value, as well as their investments, among other disclosures.
• Financial disclosure reports for the high court's other seven justices were released on Wednesday.

The big picture: Thomas has faced sharp criticism after reports that he has accepted lavish trips over decades from billionaire Republican donor Harlan Crow without self-reporting them as required, ProPublica reported this spring.

• A separate ProPublica investigation published in May also revealed that Crow made private school tuition payments for Thomas' grandnephew.
• Crow told ProPublica that he had "never sought to influence Justice Thomas on any legal or political issue."

Zoom out: The series of reports about Thomas' relationship with Crow heightened scrutiny of the high court and prompted several lawmakers to call for sweeping ethics reforms.

• Thomas drew criticism from Democratic lawmakers even before the reports, following revelations that his wife, conservative activist Ginni Thomas, participated in efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
