DOJ opens investigation into leak of Supreme Court opinion overturning Roe v. Wade
Prosecutors are seeking testimony from court employees as they try to identify who shared the draft opinion, after the court’s internal inquiry found no suspect.
- The Justice Department has renewed its criminal investigation into the 2022 leak of the Supreme Court's draft decision overturning Roe, issuing grand jury subpoenas to identify who provided the document to Politico.
- Chief Justice John Roberts ordered an internal investigation shortly after the 2022 disclosure, but that inquiry closed in January 2023 without identifying the leaker, leaving the mystery unresolved.
- Attorney Jeanine Pirro is spearheading the renewed probe in Washington, D.C., with her office accelerating efforts in recent weeks and seeking testimony from individuals who worked at the Supreme Court when the Dobbs decision was disclosed.
- The investigation has escalated a years-old inquiry as President Donald Trump and other conservatives continue demanding the leaker be identified, intensifying pressure on prosecutors to deliver results.
- Critics have raised concerns of "weaponization" during Trump's second term, while prosecutors face legal uncertainty since no federal law explicitly prohibits disclosing the Supreme Court's internal records.
