Besides, some American media also claimed that right-wing tycoons have a ‘special friendship’ with Justice Thomas.
In addition, an Illinois court on Wednesday disqualified Trump from their primary voting. According to Cook County State Circuit Court Judge Tracy R. Porter, Trump is harmful to the country.
