In a recent address at a judicial conference in Ohio, Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh spoke about the efforts being made by the Supreme Court to address ethics issues. Kavanaugh mentioned Chief Justice John Roberts’ commitment to upholding high standards of conduct within the court.
During his speech, Kavanaugh acknowledged the recent news stories that have arisen regarding justices’ travel and their relationships with political donors. While he did not address any specific allegations, he assured attendees that concrete steps are being taken to address these concerns.
