Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is being accused in an ethics complaint of failing to disclose full information about her husband’s income and not revealing private contributions that were made for the Library of Congress event celebrating her investiture into the high court.
The complaint, made through the Center for Renewing America, a conservative think tank, was addressed in a letter to Roslynn Mauskopf, head of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts and claims that the financial disclosure matters are violations of federal law and could cause Jackson, a nominee last year of President Joe Biden, recusal issues in the future. …
“We know this by Justice Jackson’s own admission in her amended disclosure form for 2020, filed when she was nominated to the Supreme Court, that ‘some of my previously filed reports inadvertently omitted’ her husband’s income from ‘consulting on medical malpractice cases,'” Vought said.
He added that Jackson had given “the vague statement that ‘some’ of those past disclosures contained material omissions.”
