Clarence Thomas says he flew on private jets because of safety concerns after the decision to overturn Roe v. Wade leaked

• Clarence Thomas claims that he needed to use private jets in the wake of the Dobbs decision leak.
• The justice's claim appears on his latest financial disclosure form which was released on Thursday.
• Thomas' use of private jets and acceptance of lavish trips has received significant scrutiny.

Justice Clarence Thomas said that his use of private jets in 2022 was partially due to the "increased security risk" after the unprecedented leak of the Supreme Court's draft opinion of their decision that would later gut nationwide abortion rights.
