The 73-year-old Crow is known as a reticent and respected Dallas real estate magnate.
But he’s now publicly defending himself against an investigative news report released a couple of weeks ago about how Justice Thomas and wife Ginny have joined him in expensive vacations for which he paid.
“I think it’s a political hit job,” Crow told the Dallas Morning News in a sit-down interview published Sunday. “I don’t think the media cares really much about Harlan Crow, and I think they’re right. They shouldn’t care much about Harlan Crow.
“But I think that the media, and this ProPublica group in particular, funded by leftists, has an agenda to destabilize the [Supreme] Court. What they’ve done is not truthful. It lacks integrity. They’ve done a pretty good job in the last week or two of unfairly slamming me and more importantly than that, unfairly slamming Justice Thomas.”
