Chuck DarwinBillionaire Leonard Leo rejects Senate subpoena over gifts to justicesMultiple reports, led by the non-profit newsroom ProPublica, have described undisclosed gifts including luxury travel and resort stays given to Clarence Thomas and Samuel Alito, long-serving hardline court rightwingers.Thomas and Alito deny all wrongdoing. The chief justice, John Roberts, has refused to testify in Congress. The court issued a new ethics code but it is enforceable only by the justices themselves.In November, the Senate committee voted on party lines to subpoena Leo and the Texas billionaire Harlan Crow, a collector of Hitler memorabilia with close links to Thomas. On Thursday, more than four months later, Leo said he had received a subpoena but a spokesperson for Crow said he did not.In a statement to the Washington Post, Durbin said: “Since July 2023, Leonard Leo has responded to the legitimate oversight requests of the Senate judiciary committee with a blanket refusal to cooperate. His outright defiance left the committee with no other choice but to move forward with compulsory process. For that reason, I have issued a subpoena to Mr Leo.“Mr Leo has played a central role in the ethics crisis plaguing the supreme court … This subpoena is a direct result of Mr Leo’s own actions and choices.”Progressive groups welcomed the Leo subpoena but protested the lack of one for Crow.Caroline Ciccone, president of Accountable.US, which has focused on drawing attention to Leo’s coordination of billions of dollars in rightwing political spending, said: “Thanks to … Leo, a full-blown corruption crisis has plagued the high court for over a year, undermining its credibility … “Today’s subpoena is a critical step toward accountability, and toward ensuring that our high court adheres to the highest possible ethics standards. As a result of the strong leadership of chairman Durbin and the judiciary committee, we can now begin to get to the bottom of the corruption crisis pervading the supreme court.” <a href="https://c.im/tags/LeonardLeo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LeonardLeo</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/subpoena" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#subpoena</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/HarlanCrow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HarlanCrow</a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/scotus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scotus</a> <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/law/2024/apr/12/billionaire-leonard-leo-rejects-senate-subpoena-supreme-court-gifts?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.theguardian.com/law/2024/apr/12/billionaire-leonard-leo-rejects-senate-subpoena-supreme-court-gifts?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other</a>

Chuck DarwinPeter Navarro is due to report to a federal prison on Tuesday after an appeals court ruled that his appeal wasn’t likely to overturn his conviction for refusing to cooperate with a congressional investigation into the <a href="https://c.im/tags/January6" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#January6</a> attack that Trump supporters aimed at the US Capitol in 2021. <a href="https://c.im/tags/Navarro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Navarro</a> has maintained that he couldn’t cooperate with the committee because Trump had invoked executive <a href="https://c.im/tags/privilege" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#privilege</a>. Federal judge Amit Mehta, who was appointed during Barack Obama’s presidency, barred Navarro from making that argument at trial, finding that he didn’t show Trump had actually invoked it.His emergency application to the Supreme Court comes as the court separately prepares to hear arguments on whether Trump himself has presidential <a href="https://c.im/tags/immunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#immunity</a> from charges alleging he interfered in the 2020 election that he lost to Joe Biden Navarro was the second Trump aide convicted of misdemeanor congressional contempt charges.
