Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas was discharged Friday after a week in the hospital, according to the court.
The Supreme Court's public information officer said Thomas was discharged from the hospital earlier Friday, without elaborating further. Thomas was admitted to Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C., on March 18 with an infection after experiencing "flu-like symptoms," a spokesperson for the court said at the time. On Sunday, when Thomas' hospitalization was made public, that spokesperson said he did not have COVID-19.
The court had initially said the 73-year-old justice was expected to be released from the hospital "in a day or two." The court did not say why he remained in the hospital for a slightly longer period.
