WASHINGTON (Reuters] – Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas should withdraw from the cases relating to the attack on U.S. Capitol Jan. 6, 2021 by U.S. Senate Majority Lead Chuck Schumer, U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer stated on Tuesday.

The Washington Post first reported that Thomas’s wife Virginia Thomas (known as Ginni) urged Mark Meadows to assist in the overthrow of the election of Joe Biden on November 20, 2020.

Schumer said that information made available raises serious questions regarding the proximity of Justice Thomas and his spouse to planning and execution for the Jan. 6, insurrection.

Monday was Monday. 24 Democrats sent letters to John Roberts (chief justice of the United States), asking him for his resignation.

Alexandria Ocasio Cortez, a House Democrat wrote on Tuesday in a tweet that Thomas should resign.

Clarence Thomas was the sole dissenting voice after Trump rejected his request for the U.S. Supreme Court to block Trump from releasing White House records requested by the congressional panel.
