Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito responded to a ProPublica inquiry about possible ethics violations by writing a Wall Street Journal op-ed refuting the claims. See potential biases and similarities in reports from propublica, WSJopinion and forbes:
In a story published after Alito's op-ed, ProPublica said he appeared to violate"a federal law that requires justices to disclose most gifts" by not reporting a 2008 trip with billionaire Paul Singer, who had a case before the court. "Alito did not recuse himself and voted with the 7-1 majority in Singer’s favor," the outlet stated.
ProPublica also said it sent Alito questions last week, but"the Supreme Court’s head spokeswoman told ProPublica that Alito would not be commenting."Responding to questions about the lack of recusal and disclosure, Alito said "neither charge is valid" and that ProPublica"misleads its readers." He denied knowledge of Singer's connections to the case, and said "recusal would not have been required or appropriate" had he known.
