CNBC was able to find some of her conservative-leaning clients by cross-checking Virginia business records, tax forms, Federal Election Commission filings, personal financial disclosure documents and through interviews with people familiar with her work. Even so, watchdogs say such documents may not entirely reveal who she’s represented and whether those groups have ties to any cases before the court, raising increasing calls for more transparency.</div><h2 class="ArticleBody-subtitle" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 20px; -webkit-box-flex: 0; flex-grow: 0; flex-shrink: 0; margin-left: 105.7px; max-width: 100%; min-width: auto; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3px;"><a id="headline0" style="text-decoration-line: underline; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer;">‘Very problematic’</a></h2><div class="group" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.66; margin-bottom: 30px; -webkit-box-flex: 0; flex-grow: 0; flex-shrink: 0; margin-left: calc(14.2857% + 4.28571px); max-width: 100%; min-width: auto;">“It’s very problematic,” Richard Painter, chief White House ethics lawyer in the George W. Bush administration, said in a recent phone interview of Ginni Thomas’ work. The Supreme Court rules don’t require spouses to publicly disclose how much they earn or if they are working with anyone that could have a stake in a Supreme Court case — which could create a conflict for her husband and force him to recuse himself from certain cases, Painter said.Kedric Payne, general counsel of the watchdog Campaign Legal Center, similarly said any financial interest tied to a justice’s spouse that could make it’s way to the court might lead to the recusal by the judge.“The law is clear that a justice with questionable impartiality shall recuse from a case. Cases tied to the financial or other significant interests of a justice’s spouse always raise red flags that may trigger the recusal requirement,” Payne told CNBC. Clarence Thomas has recused himself 54 times since the 1990s, including 17 times to avoid a potential perception of a conflict of interest created by his son, according to <a href="https://www.huffpost.com/entry/clarence-thomas-recuse-jan-6_n_6243372ee4b03516d4288d1a?sw3" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer;">the Huffington Post.</a><div class="MidResponsive-midResponsiveContainer" style="box-sizing: border-box;"></div></div><h2 class="ArticleBody-subtitle" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 23px; margin-bottom: 20px; -webkit-box-flex: 0; flex-grow: 0; flex-shrink: 0; margin-left: 105.7px; max-width: 100%; min-width: auto; padding: 0px 0px 0px 3px;"><a id="headline1" style="text-decoration-line: underline; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer;">Separate careers</a></h2><div class="group" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); box-sizing: border-box; line-height: 1.66; margin-bottom: 30px; -webkit-box-flex: 0; flex-grow: 0; flex-shrink: 0; margin-left: calc(14.2857% + 4.28571px); max-width: 100%; min-width: auto;">Ginni Thomas, in a recent interview with the Washington Free Beacon, pushed back on any potential conflicts of interest from her work. “We have our own separate careers, and our own ideas and opinions too. Clarence doesn’t discuss his work with me, and I don’t involve him in my work,” she recently told the <a href="https://freebeacon.com/courts/exclusive-ginni-thomas-sets-the-record-straight-on-january-6/" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer;">publication</a>. She noted her work for Liberty Consulting in that interview but didn’t divulge her clients.Still, Democrats, including Senate Majority Leader <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/chuck-schumer/" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer;">Chuck Schumer</a>, have said they want to move forward with <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2022/03/29/democrats-urge-supreme-courts-clarence-thomas-to-recuse-himself-from-election-cases.html" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer;">creating</a> an ethics code for Supreme Court justices that could include more specific disclosure requirements.In the case of Ginni Thomas, the court’s financial disclosure forms only show that she gets a salary and benefits from her firm, without disclosing the specifics, and it notes the book value of the business.Located in a nondescript strip mall in suburban Virginia, Liberty Consulting’s few known clients range from the Center for Security Policy, a nonprofit founded by a conservative activist accused of anti-Muslim rhetoric, to a political action committee titled FedUp PAC, according to a review of public filings by CNBC and researchers at watchdog Documented. The political action committee backed failed Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore, according to Center for Responsive Politics’ data. Moore was accused of sexual misconduct and has denied wrongdoing.The Center for Security Policy was founded by Frank Gaffney Jr., a former Reagan administration Defense official who has since been flagged by the Anti-Defamation League for pushing “a number of anti-Muslim conspiracy theories.” Both Gaffney and the Center for Security Policy were among a group of advocates who filed an <a href="https://www.americanfreedomlawcenter.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/08/16-1436-1540-National-Security-Experts-Brief-Final.pdf" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 51, 153); outline: none; box-sizing: border-box; cursor: pointer;">amicus</a> brief with the Supreme Court backing Trump’s travel ban. The center paid Liberty Consulting more than $200,000 over the course of two years, from 2017 and through 2018, according to 990 tax disclosure reports from those years.

Ginni Thomas once boasted that she wanted the organization to be “bigger than the tea party,” and was taking aim at Obama’s agenda, including the Affordable Care Act, the Post reported.In 2010, Ginni Thomas made more than $120,000 as president and CEO of Liberty Central that year, according to a 990 tax filing.

The PAC later backed Trump during the 2020 election cycle, spending more than $100,000 supporting the then commander in chief. Liberty Consulting was not paid for any work by the PAC that cycle, federal campaign disclosure data shows.Bob Mills, who is listed as director for the super PAC on its website, did not recall what specific work Liberty Consulting conducted for the organization when initially reached by CNBC and didn’t respond to follow up emails requesting further details.Ginni Thomas’ LinkedIn profile says she’s worked since 2010 as the founder and president of Liberty Consulting with “citizen activists, leaders and nonprofits to succeed and have impact in defending the principles that have made America an exceptional nation. — offer strategic advice, build coalitions, connect people and projects (this is my passion and joy!).” Thomas notes on her page that she’s not a lobbyist, even though a Virginia state record shows that the firm was once called Liberty Lobby.Beth Rotman, national director of money in politics and ethics at watchdog Common Cause, told CNBC that new ethics laws governing Supreme Court justices should require them to disclose more details of their spouses’ consulting contracts.“Disclosure must be robust for it to be truly meaningful in this context so financial disclosures should include consulting contracts. As you have seen already, when justices complete their annual reports, they list information that does not give a complete view of their spouse’s financial ties,” Rotman said in an email. “It is key to meaningful disclosure that the rules be updated to include the source and amount of any spouse’s consulting contracts over a reasonable minimum threshold.”Leo and representatives for most of the group’s mentioned in this story also did not return requests for comment.
