The wife of James Ho, one of the circuit judges who banned mifepristone last year, took multiple payments from the group that brought it to court.

The fate of the abortion pill mifepristone is now before the Supreme Court, after a fifth-circuit appeals panel of three judges ruled against its distribution last summer.

According to a new report, the wife of one of those judges—James Ho, a Trump appointee who previously served as the solicitor general of Texas—took at least six payments between 2018 and 2022 from the conservative legal group that brought the case to court.

    So I’m sure politicians like MTG, who are going after the Fulton County DA over a few trips they say are evidence of a big kickback scheme, are going to be all over this Federal Judge whose wife is directly benefiting from his rulings. Right?

    Oh, never mind, this judge has the magic ® after his name, which makes him immune to consequences like that. How silly of me.
