2 Justices Spoke at Dinners Hosted by Koch Industries

Two Supreme Court justices have clarified their past relationship with Koch Industries, the energy company that has been criticized by liberal groups for secretive and excessive sway on public policymakers and events.

Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas acknowledged Thursday that they each spoke at a private dinner in recent years that was hosted by Charles Koch, a Kansas oil man who is one of Koch Industries' two principal owners, and his wife.
