 US Supreme Court Justice Alito rejects calls to recuse in 2020 election cases
==========

Conservative U.S. Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito rejected requests by Democratic lawmakers to recuse himself from cases related to the 2020 election, including Donald Trump's bid for immunity from prosecution on federal criminal charges for trying to reverse his defeat. Some lawmakers called for him to step aside from the pending cases after media reports that flags like those carried by Trump supporters during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol flew outside his homes in recent years. Alito said that in both cases his wife, Martha-Ann Alito, was responsible for flying the flags, and that he had no involvement.
