Donald Trump has praised Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito for refusing to recuse himself from cases involving the embattled former president, the 2020 election and the Jan. 6 Capitol riots, RadarOnline.com has learned.
Alito rejected calls to sit out pending cases after it was reported that the judge had fled inverted American flag outside his home in the aftermath of the January 6 uprising. He claimed that his wife Martha Ann Alito “was solely responsible for installing flagpoles in our home and holiday home and has flown a wide variety of flags over the years.”
“I had nothing to do with raising that flag at all. I was not even aware of the inverted flag until it was brought to my attention. As soon as I saw it, I asked my wife to take it down, but for days she refused them,” the judge wrote in a three-page letter sent to the Senate on Wednesday. “My wife likes bunting. Not me.”
