DOJ Launches Criminal Probe of Supreme Court Leak
A federal investigation into the draft ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade begins as internal courts fail to name a leaker and subpoenas target former court staff.
The US Department of Justice has launched a criminal investigation into the leak of a Supreme Court draft ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade, a leak that occurred around the time of the Dobbs decision and exposed the overturning of the long‑standing abortion precedent.
Chief Justice John Roberts’ internal Supreme Court investigation into the leak has not identified the leaker, according to Fox News, leaving the source of the breach unknown.
Federal prosecutors have been issuing subpoenas to people who worked at the Supreme Court around the time of the Dobbs leak, a move reported by the New York Post and carried out by the Department of Justice.
