to the punch Tuesday, publishing an op-ed in the Wall Street Journal rebutting a then-unpublished article accusing him of ethics violations.
The justice said in the op-ed that he was not required to recuse from legal battles involving any of Mr. Singer’s entities because he did not know of the connection — and had only met Mr. Singer a few times anyway. He noted he also did not reveal details of a fishing trip to Alaska more than a decade ago, to which he flew in Mr. Singer’s private plane. Justice Alito said he was offered what he believed would have been an otherwise vacant seat.
“The flight to Alaska was the only occasion when I have accepted transportation for a purely social event, and in doing so, I followed what I understood to be standard practice.
