Justice Thomas Released From Hospital One Week After Being Admitted

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was “discharged from the hospital” one week after he was admitted due to an infection, officials said Friday.

The high court’s Public Information Office told the Washington Examiner he was released “earlier today” after it was announced Sunday evening that the most senior justice had been admitted to the hospital last Friday for “flu-like symptoms.”

Thomas, 73, was treated with intravenous antibiotics and his symptoms were “abating,” according to the only other court statement provided in the wake of his hospitalization. “He expects to be released from the hospital in a day or two,” a court spokesperson said on Monday, also noting Thomas had not contracted the coronavirus.

SUPREME COURT MUM ON HEALTH OF THOMAS, BREYER THINKS ‘HE’S FINE’

The other eight justices have continued to hear oral arguments this week, while Thomas has participated in “consideration and decision of the cases on the basis of the briefs and the transcripts of oral arguments” remotely, according to Chief Justice John Roberts.

Justice Stephen Breyer, who is retiring later this year, was stopped Wednesday by a TMZ reporter asking about Thomas’s condition, to which Breyer said: “I think he’s fine.”

Amid Thomas’s hospitalization, reports emerged Thursday evening regarding his wife, Ginni Thomas, who previously exchanged several messages to former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows about overturning the 2020 election.

The messages were obtained by the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot and were sent in the days and weeks following former President Donald Trump’s loss to then-candidate Joe Biden, with the reports depicting the justice’s spouse voicing support for lawyer Sidney Powell to become “the lead and the face” of Trump’s legal team in challenging the results.

“Sidney Powell & improved coordination now will help the cavalry come and Fraud exposed and America saved,” Ginni Thomas said in one message on Nov. 13, 2020, according to the Washington Post.

Ginni Thomas insisted to the Washington Free Beacon this month that she and her husband keep their careers completely separate from one another. “Clarence doesn’t discuss his work with me, and I don’t involve him in my work,” she said.
