Clarence Thomas claimed income from defunct real estate firm: report says

(The Hill) - Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has claimed on financial disclosure documents that his family received hundreds of thousands in income from a now-defunct real estate firm, according to a new report from the Washington Post.The Post reports that Thomas said the income came from Ginger, Ltd., Partnership, a real estate firm launched by his wife, Virginia “Ginni” Thomas, and her family, that was shut down in 2006. A new firm was opened under the name Ginger Holdings, LLC, according to the report, but Thomas continued to claim income from the unused firm. The Post notes that the discrepancy could be a mere error, but it comes as Thomas faces scrutiny for his finances as he serves on the nation’s highest court. A ProPublica report earlier this month said a Republican mega-donor paid for Thomas to take part in various luxury vacations over two decades, which the justice did not disclose. A subsequent report found that Thomas also didn’t disclose a 2014 re...

Saturday marked the sixth year since Cal Poly Humboldt student David Josiah Lawson was fatally stabbed. His family and loved ones met with Humboldt County District Attorney Stacey Eads on Friday, who promised to spend the next three months reviewing the case.Lawson’s family wants Eads to pursue murder charges against Kyle Zoellner, a McKinleyville man who was initially charged with fatally stabbing Lawson at a party in Arcata in the early morning hours of April 15, 2017, but a judge decided there wasn’t enough compelling evidence for the case to warrant a trial. Michelle-Charmaine Lawson, Lawson’s mother, said the prosecution of Zoellner must come sooner.“She’ll have an answer for us, probably in about three months, but I don’t think you need three months to solve this case (that) is already solved. She just needs to prosecute Kyle Zoellner,” Michelle-Charmaine Lawson said.Lawson said the accumulated evidence in the case, which includes Zoellner’s bloody clothing, and his DNA under ...
