0:31Now PlayingUS Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito told lawmakers he won’t recuse from cases involving Donald Trump and the Jan. 6 Capitol riot after revelations that flags associated with far-right causes flew over his homes in Virginia and New Jersey.
Responding to Democratic calls that he disqualify himself, Alito said in two letters that his wife was responsible for flying the flags, not him.
“My wife is an independently minded private citizen,” he wrote. “She makes her own decisions, and I honor her right to do so.”
In one case, an upside-down American flag was displayed at Alito’s Virginia house in the days before President Joe Biden’s inauguration, according to the New York Times. More recently, an “Appeal to Heaven” flag flew at Alito’s beach residence in New Jersey, the Times said.
