Court Justice Clarence Thomas is facing new questions about whether he may have broken the law. Nonprofit journalistic outfit Pro Publica, alleging Thomas accepted more luxury vacations and gifts from wealthy individuals and didn't report receiving those. ABC's Aika Jaci is in Washington, DC with the latest. Justice Clarence Thomas is facing new questions about whether he may have broken the law after allegedly accepting luxury flights, cruises and expensive sports tickets from wealthy individuals without disclosing them. That's according to an investigative report by nonprofit journalistic organization Pro Publica, who claimed Justice Thomas was given access to several luxurious gifts, at least 38 destination vacations, two stays at luxury resorts, 26 flights on private jets and eight on helicopters. And a dozen VIP passes to sporting events. The Pro Publica report says it found no evidence the donors of the gifts had any cases before the Supreme Court when Thomas received those gifts. ABC News has not independently verified Pro Publica's latest claims, and the Supreme Court hasn't responded to requests for comment. Pro Publica also says Thomas has not commented on these new allegations. The Supreme Court internally definitely has ethical rules. They're voluntarily adhered to, and at the same time, they can be quite broad. And also quite vague. In April, the publication reported Thomas failed to disclose high end vacations and private jet travel paid for by billionaire Republican donor Harlan Crowe. What you hear from folks on the left is that maybe he hasn't violated the letter of these regulations, but he is certainly bringing disrepute on the Supreme Court. On Capitol Hill, efforts are underway from the Senate Judiciary Committee to establish a code of ethics for the justices. Other members of the court are also facing scrutiny. Justice Samuel Alito defended himself. After he allegedly didn't report a luxury trip to Alaska and a private jet, and Justice Sonia Sotomayor reportedly used her taxpayer funded Supreme Court staff to help push her books.
