Supreme Court nominee Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson will face ethics questions about her ties to left-wing public relations professionals, and a conflict of interest that could trigger her recusal from a landmark affirmative action case.
Jackson, whom President Joe Biden nominated Friday, has come under fire following a report that she retained PR gurus with deep ties in Democratic politics to assist with her prospective nomination.
Jackson's service on one of Harvard University's governing boards will prompt questions as to recusing herself from a lawsuit accusing the university of bias against Asians in admissions, which the High Court will hear this fall.
Jackson has deep experience in the criminal justice system as a former trial court judge and commissioner on the.
Just hours before Biden officially nominated Jackson, Sen. Chuck Grassley sent a letter to Chief Judge Sri Srinivasan pressing for details about Jackson's work with PR operatives Robert Raben and TJ Ducklo.
Grassley is the ranking Republican on the Senate Judiciary Committee and Srinivasan is chief judge of Jackson's court, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.
Apart from the messaging dust up, Jackson will also face ethics and recusal questions related to a lawsuit that alleges that Harvard discriminates against Asian students in admissions.
