WSJ publishes 'weird' attempt by Justice Alito to preempt ProPublica report on Supreme Court recusal

The Wall Street Journal on Tuesday published an op-ed by U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito in what appeared to be an effort to preempt an upcoming ProPublica report that raises questions about Alito’s failure to recuse himself from a case involving hedge fund magnate Paul Singer, as well as allegations that Alito failed to “list certain items as gifts” on his 2008 financial disclosures.

Although ProPublica’s report has yet to be published, Alito’s description of the charges "leveled" against him makes it clear the story echoes recent investigations into Justice Clarence Thomas. Earlier this year, ProPublica released a number of bombshell reports that detailed Thomas’ failure to report lavish gifts from his billionaire benefactor Harlan Crow, among other allegations.

“ProPublica has leveled two charges against me,” Alito wrote in Tuesday’s op-ed. “First, that I should have recused in matters in which an entity connected with Paul Singer was a party and, second, that I was obligated to list certain items as gifts on my 2008 Financial Disclose [sic] Report.”
