You KNEW This Story Was Going To Get Better

NEW: Billionaire Harlan Crow bought property from Clarence Thomas in undisclosed real estate deal.

Crow netted two vacant lots and the house where Thomas’ elderly mother was living. It’s unclear if he paid fair market value.https://t.co/j9byPGpUnI

No need to report that, right?

Crow's claim about buying it for a museum can't be squared with Thomas's mother still living in it after the purchase, the improvements made to the home, nor with Thomas breaking the law to keep it secret. https://t.co/A7XwDinP4J

Friends do this for friends all the time! Right?

Thomas did not respond to our detailed questions.

Crow did.

The sale involved Thomas' childhood home, and Crow wrote:

“My intention is to one day create a public museum at the Thomas home dedicated to telling the story of our nation’s second black Supreme Court Justice.” pic.twitter.com/5DTHFs5zZB
