Justice Samuel Alito stated that he did not discuss President-elect Trump's emergency Supreme Court filing during their call, which was focused solely on a job recommendation for a former clerk.
Gabe Roth from Fix the Court criticized the timing of Alito's call, labeling it an 'unmistakable breach of protocol' due to the ongoing appeal against Trump’s sentencing.
Carrie Severino defended Alito, claiming that the outrage over the call is a 'manufactured ethics scandal' and a tactic used by the Left to tarnish a justice's reputation.
Alito emphasized that he was unaware of the application for appeal at the time of his conversation with Trump, asserting that no pending matters were discussed.
