Justice Alito Discloses Concert Tickets in Report

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito has disclosed receiving $900 worth of concert tickets from German socialite Gloria von Thurn und Taxis in his annual financial report. Alito's disclosure, made public after a filing extension, also included stock sales such as Anheuser Busch and details of a 2015 loan from Edward D. Jones. This comes amid heightened scrutiny over ethics at the Supreme Court, with criticisms directed at Alito and Justice Clarence Thomas for not disclosing gifts and trips from wealthy benefactors. Unlike previous years, Alito did not report any travel reimbursements or outside income from teaching or book deals. His colleague, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, also reported receiving concert tickets from Beyoncé worth over $3,700. The disclosures have reignited calls for a binding code of ethics for Supreme Court justices.
