Justice Samuel Alito testified that he had a phone conversation with president-elect Trump, which raised ethical concerns due to the timing and subjects discussed.
Despite critics' concerns, Alito insists that he and Trump did not discuss any legal matters related to pending cases before the Supreme Court.
The conversation between Alito and Trump coincided with Trump submitting a legal brief to the Supreme Court, leading many to question the appropriateness of their exchange.
Alito's acknowledgment of the conversation has led to scrutiny over potential conflicts of interest, particularly regarding a former clerk's prospective role in the incoming administration.
