"Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito spoke to President-elect Spanky by phone Tuesday to recommend one of his former law clerks for a job in the new administration, ABC News has learned.
The call occurred just hours before Spanky's lawyers on Wednesday morning filed an emergency request with the justices asking them to block a New York judge from moving forward with sentencing Trump on Friday in his criminal hush money case.
Alito said that he and Trump did not discuss that matter.
"We did not discuss the emergency application he filed today, and indeed, I was not even aware at the time of our conversation that such an application would be filed," Alito said. "We also did not discuss any other matter that is pending or might in the future come before the Supreme Court or any past Supreme Court decisions involving the President-elect."
