Justice Clarence Thomas Released from Hospital

Justice Clarence Thomas was hospitalized with an infection on Friday after experiencing flu-like symptoms and today he was finally released from the hospital after recovering.

Supreme Court spokesperson Patricia McCabe said that Thomas was admitted to Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C., on Friday evening. He was diagnosed with an infection after undergoing tests and was being treated with intravenous antibiotics.

The good news for the longtime conservative Supreme Court jurist was that his conditions were improving and he was expected to be released from the hospital Monday or Tuesday. That happened today and the court did not say why he remained in the hospital longer than initially thought or what kind of infection he was treated for while there. The court did confirm Thomas did not have COVID.
