Usa news: As Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is under heightened scrutiny for accepting lavish trips from a GOP billionaire megadonor, he has also been disclosing income from a now-defunct real estate company, The Washington Post reported.

Over the last two decades, Thomas has been reporting on required financial disclosures rental income from a family real estate company – but the company ceased operations in 2006.

By itself, the disclosure could be chalked up as an inadvertent error. The original company, named Ginger, Ltd., Partnership was taken over by a similarly named company, Ginger Holdings, LLC.
