The Supreme Court investigation into the leaker of the draft decision to overturn Roe v. Wade failed to identify a culprit.
Politico published a leaked draft opinion for Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization on May 2, prompting protests and threats of violence to conservative justices at their own homes.
According to the Family Research Council, more than 100 attacks have occurred on churches, pro-life organizations, and pregnancy resource centers since the decision was leaked in early May.
The Court described the leak as “one of the worst breaches of trust in its history” and a “grave assault on the judicial process.”
Such a leak is unprecedented, and the Supreme Court conducted an internal investigation that determined that “too many personnel have access to certain Court-sensitive documents. The current distribution mechanisms result in too many people having access to highly sensitive information and the inability to actively track who is handling and accessing these documents.
