US Supreme Court Justice Alito spoke to Trump on Tuesday

^{Published on 2025-01-09 04:20:39 - Reuters}

Conservative Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito said he spoke to Donald Trump by phone on Tuesday to recommend a former law clerk for a job in a government position, adding he and Trump did not discuss the U.

The article from Reuters reports that U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito had a phone conversation with former President Donald Trump on January 6, 2021, the day of the Capitol riot. This revelation came to light through ABC News, which cited sources familiar with the matter. The conversation took place as Trump was making unfounded claims of election fraud and pressuring Vice President Mike Pence to reject the certification of President Joe Biden's election victory. The content of the call remains undisclosed, but it has raised concerns about the impartiality of the judiciary, especially given the timing and context of the conversation. Justice Alito has not commented on the specifics of the call but has previously stated that he had no obligation to recuse himself from cases related to the 2020 election or the January 6 events.
