Thomas was previously investigated to examine his compliance with financial disclosure rules and was cleared of any violations by the Judicial Conference in 2012.

On Thursday, however, the justice applied the new rules retroactively in a sign of good faith. Thomas’ attorney Elliot Berke accompanied the new financial filing with a six-page statement.

“Over the course of his 44 years in public service in all three branches of government, Justice Thomas has always strived for full transparency and adherence to the law, including with respect to what personal travel needed to be reported,” Berke said. “Justice Thomas’s amended report answers — and utterly refutes — the charges trumped up in this partisan feeding frenzy.”

The latest report discloses four trips in 2022, three of which were conferences where the justice spoke as a featured guest.
