The Department of Justice is conducting an inquiry into the unauthorized release of the Supreme Court draft decision that overturned Roe v. Wade, according to reports from The New York Times and Fox News.
The New York Times reported that investigators are utilizing subpoenas and additional enforcement mechanisms to speed up an inquiry that reaches into the high court's internal operations under the Trump administration. Fox News characterized the effort as a criminal investigation, reporting that sources familiar with the inquiry identified the Washington office of U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro as leading the probe.
Fox News also noted that Politico first published the draft prior to the official 2022 ruling, after which an internal inquiry ordered by Chief Justice John Roberts failed to uncover the source of the leak. The Justice Department declined to provide comment on the matter, according to Fox News.
