Story summary
  • Environmental and accountability watchdogs asked the Senate Judiciary Committee to investigate Justice Samuel Alito for ethics violations linked to oil-company investments.
  • Alito did not recuse himself from the Supreme Court case on Suncor Energy and Exxon, where his disclosure lists $60,007-$245,000 in ConocoPhillips, Phillips 66 and five other firms.
  • The watchdogs cite a 2008 private-jet trip paid by donor Paul Singer, whose Elliott Investment Management owns over 52 million Suncor shares.
