A lawyer for Texas billionaire and Republican donor Harlan Crow has offered to meet with Senate Judiciary Committee staff to discuss his ties to U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, Reuters reports. Last month, Crow rejected the committee's request to detail gifts he or his companies have made to Thomas. In a six-page letter released Tuesday, Crow's lawyer said he does not think the committee has the power to request information from Crow but “we respect the Senate Judiciary Committee's important role in formulating legislation concerning our federal courts system, and would welcome a discussion with your staff."
