"We're letting people come into our country that we will only be trouble," said the Republican contender for president. Trump has drawn on the song several ...

Washington (AFP) - US Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, who has found himself under scrutiny over his judicial decisions and accepting lavish gifts from a billionaire Republican, is dismissing the criticism as "nastiness" and "lies," according to US media.

Staunch conservative Thomas, the longest-serving justice on the court, has been embroiled in ...
