Thomas adds wife's employment to disclosure report

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has corrected financial disclosures for the past 13 years that omitted his wife's employment.

WASHINGTON —

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has corrected financial disclosures for the past 13 years that omitted his wife's employment.

Letters amending the reports, released by the court on Monday, show that Virginia Thomas has worked for Michigan's Hillsdale College, the Heritage Foundation and the Republican leadership in the House.

Her employment was previously known, but Thomas neglected to include it, as required, on the report of his personal finances that he files annually, along with all other federal judges. Thomas blamed the error on misunderstanding the filing instructions.

The annual report asks only for the source, not the amount, of money earned by a spouse, and Thomas did not provide his wife's income.

Thomas included his wife's employment until 1996.

Common Cause pointed out the omissions last week.
