Why is Justice Clarence Thomas facing criticism?

According to a report in ProPublica, Clarence Thomas, frustrated with his finances, mentioned about resigning from his position to a Republican lawmaker which led to favors from some ultra-rich men in the country. He kept receiving gifts over the years.

Some defrayed living expenses large and small — private school tuition, vehicle batteries, and tires. Other gifts from a coterie of ultrarich men supplemented his lifestyle, such as free international vacations on the private jet and superyacht of Dallas real estate billionaire Harlan Crow. However, how Thomas returned the favor is not mentioned.

Nevertheless, as the report emerged, Thomas has been facing severe criticism from all corners. He has also been asked to recuse himself from the case pending before the Supreme Court involving whether former President Donald Trump is absolutely immune from federal prosecution for alleged crimes committed while in office.
