Overview
- Reporters on Capitol Hill captured video of Justice Clarence Thomas walking through the House side of the Capitol and posted the clip publicly.
- When pressed by MS NOW reporter Mychael Schnell, Thomas laughed, said he was 'meeting with nobody' and declined to say why he was there or preview decisions.
- The sighting occurred as the Supreme Court released several major rulings and prepared to issue the term’s final opinions the next day.
- Some Republican Hill sources and reporters suggested he may have visited the House physician, but that account has not been confirmed and the Court gave no comment.
- The episode drew widespread social-media reaction and renewed attention to Thomas’s age and long tenure, and reporters say they will watch for any official explanation or follow-up.
