Alito Has “Pretty Good Idea” Who Leaked Roe Draft

The Washington Examiner reports:

Just days before the anniversary of a leak that changed the scope of trust in the nation’s highest court, Justice Samuel Alito says he has a “good idea” of who leaked the draft signaling the end of Roe v. Wade. Alito says the Supreme Court marshal tasked with investigating the leak “did a good job with the resources that were available to her” and ultimately agrees that the evidence from the investigation was insufficient for a public accusation.

“I personally have a pretty good idea who is responsible, but that’s different from the level of proof that is needed to name somebody,” Alito said, adding he feels certain about the motive: “It was a part of an effort to prevent the Dobbs draft . . . from becoming the decision of the court. And that’s how it was used for those six weeks by people on the outside — as part of the campaign to try to intimidate the court.”
