WASHINGTON, June 6 (Reuters) - A lawyer for Texas billionaire Harlan Crow has offered to meet with Senate Judiciary Committee staff to discuss the panel's concerns over his ties to conservative U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, a letter released on Tuesday showed.
Revelations about the links between Thomas, the court's longest-tenured member, and Crow, including real estate purchases and luxury travel paid for by the Dallas businessman, have prompted calls from Democratic lawmakers for more rigorous ethics standards for the Supreme Court.
The Democratic-led committee held a hearing on the subject last month. Crow, a major Republican donor, last month rejected the panel's request for a meeting.
