The statement did little to dampen controversy surrounding the 74-year-old conservative or lessen fire from the political left.

Thomas is the longest-serving current justice, nominated by George HW Bush in 1991. On Thursday, ProPublica reported that he has long accepted trips from Crow including travel on private jets and yachts and stays at exclusive resorts.

Crow joined the AEI in 1996, the same year he said he became friends with Thomas.
