Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas failed to report even more private travel gifted by a Republican mega-donor.

Senate Finance Committee Chair Ron Wyden (D- Ore. ) detailed in a letter to billionaire businessman Harlan Crow , how Thomas "has never disclosed" round-trip travel by Thomas and his wife, conservative activist Virginia Thomas , between Hawaii and New Zealand in 2010 on Crow 's private jet.

Thomas led the pack with 193 FTC -identified gifts collectively valued at over $4 million .

Of these, he listed only 27 in financial disclosure reports.

"Trust for the Supreme Court remains at historic lows in part because the MAGA justices openly display their allegiances to wealthy billionaires and partisan interests instead of the public," Buchanan said.

"Our nation's highest court has become a political plaything for the ultra-wealthy and well-connected," an advocacy group said.
