Pirro's Grand Jury Hunts SCOTUS' Dobbs Leaker... And Alito Thinks He Knows Who Did It Federal prosecutors in Washington have opened a criminal investigation into the 2022 leak of the Supreme Court's draft opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, issuing grand jury subpoenas for testimony and seeking information from people who worked at the court at the time, The New York Times reported Thursday.
The probe has ramped up over the past few weeks, four and a half years after someone inside the court handed the draft to Politico. US Attorney Jeanine Pirro is overseeing the investigation , which is being handled primarily by career prosecutors, a source familiar with it told the Washington Examiner .
The Justice Department declined to comment, saying it would neither confirm nor deny the existence of an ongoing investigation. It is uncharted ground. The case raises separation-of-powers questions about prosecutors reaching into the judiciary's internal workings , the Times reports.
