Supreme Court Investigators Have Narrowed Leak Inquiry to Small Number of Suspects – WSJ

WASHINGTON Supreme Court investigators probing the May leak of Justice Samuel Alito s draft opinion overruling Roe v. Wade have narrowed their inquiry to a small number of suspects including law clerks, but officials have yet to conclusively identify the alleged culprit, people familiar with the matter said.

A day after the draft opinion was published last year by Politico, Chief Justice John Roberts assigned the Supreme Court s marshal, Gail Curley, to investigate the leak. The court has released no information regarding the investigation since then. Little has emerged elsewhere, apart from a demand from investigators in June that justices law clerks sit for interviews and surrender their cellphones, prompting several of the three-dozen clerks serving in May to seek legal counsel.

A Supreme Court spokeswoman didn t respond to requests for comment.
