Biden-Appointed Supreme Court Justice Facing Ethics Complaint Over Failure to Disclose Husband’s Income


Joe Biden’s far-left, Marxist Supreme Court appointee Ketanji Brown Jackson – and the first female black Supreme Court Justice – has been hit with an ethics complaint for failing to disclose portions of her husband’s income.

The Center for Renewing America, a conservative policy group headed by former senior Trump White House official Russ Vought, sent the Judicial Conference a letter alleging that Justice Jackson “willfully failed to disclose” her husband’s full income from his medical malpractice consulting business for over a decade!

A conservative policy group has filed an ethics complaint against Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson for “willfully” omitting required income disclosures for years while serving on the federal bench.

The Center for Renewing America, a think tank led by former senior Trump White House official Russ Vought, sent a letter to the Judicial Conference with allegations that Jackson “willfully failed to disclose” required information about her husband’s malpractice consulting income for more than a decade.

The letter suggests that the Judicial Conference should refer Jackson’s possible ethics violations to Attorney General Merrick Garland for investigation and possible civil enforcement.

The letter notes that federal judges are legally required to disclose the “source of items of earned income earned by a spouse from any person which exceed $1,000…except…if the spouse is self-employed in business or a profession, only the nature of such business or profession needs be reported.”

As part of her nomination to the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Jackson disclosed the names of two legal medical malpractice consulting clients who paid her husband, Dr. Patrick Jackson, more than $1,000 for the year 2011, the letter notes.

In subsequent filings, however, Jackson “repeatedly failed to disclose that her husband received income from medical malpractice consulting fees,” the letter reads.

“We know this by Justice Jackson’s own admission in her amended disclosure form for 2020, filed when she was nominated to the Supreme Court, that ‘some of my previously filed reports inadvertently omitted’ her husband’s income from ‘consulting on medical malpractice cases,’” the letter says.

Vought says in the letter that “Jackson has not even attempted to list the years for which her previously filed disclosures omitted her husband’s consulting income. Instead, in her admission of omissions on her 2020 amended disclosure form (filed in 2022), Justice Jackson provided only the vague statement that ‘some’ of those past disclosures contained material omissions.”

Newsweek added:

The Center for Renewing America, a conservative think tank, said on Tuesday that it has filed an ethics complaint against Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, accusing her of failing to disclose information about her husband’s income and to reveal the funders behind a private event marking her swearing in to the nation’s high court.

The letter written by Russell Vought, think tank president who served in the administration of former President Donald Trump as director of the Office of Management and Budget, was addressed to Roslynn R. Mauskopf, head of the Administrative Office of the United States Courts.

Vought alleges that Jackson, who was appointed to the Supreme Court by President Joe Biden last year, failed to disclose income from the medical malpractice consulting fees of her husband, surgeon Patrick Jackson. The allegations say that Jackson acknowledged in her 2020 disclosure form filed in 2022 that previous reports had mistakenly omitted her husband’s income.

The reporting of the income later was not enough, Vought wrote in his letter.

“The fact that she referenced her omission in 2022 and did not correct it as required is more indicia of her willfulness to not report this information,” Vought argued.

If the allegations that Ketanji Brown Jackson was hiding parts of her husband’s income for more than a decade turn out true – should she face impeachment?
