PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Florida — House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas shouldn’t have to recuse himself from cases related to the Jan. 6 riot at the Capitol despite news that his wife, Ginni Thomas, pushed former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows to pursue taking action to attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election results.

“No, I think Justice Thomas can make his decisions like he’s made them every other time,” McCarthy told reporters during a press conference during the House GOP retreat on Friday.
