Overview
- The Administrative Office published Justice Samuel Alito’s 2025 financial disclosure on Monday, Aug. 31, 2026, which reports retained investments in oil and gas companies and a mineral interest in Grady County, Oklahoma valued at $100,001–$250,000.
- Alito signed the form on Aug. 11 after receiving a 90‑day extension and was the last justice to file his 2025 disclosure; the form also lists $33,333 in book income and reimbursed travel for speaking engagements.
- Watchdog groups renewed demands that Alito recuse and asked the Senate Judiciary Committee to investigate because they say his fossil‑fuel ties could create a conflict of interest in linked climate cases.
- The Supreme Court has said court lawyers advised that Alito’s recusal is not required and a spokesperson said he has no financial interest in the parties, but critics note he still holds industry investments that could benefit from rulings.
- The case Suncor Energy v. County Commissioners of Boulder County, set for oral argument on Oct. 5, will ask whether federal law blocks state‑court climate claims and a ruling for petitioners could limit dozens of pending lawsuits and reshape accountability for fossil fuel companies.
