White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Wednesday declined to directly condemn the leak of a Supreme Court draft majority opinion that would overturn Roe v. Wade.
“Does the White House condemn, explicitly condemn, this leak or has seeing this draft been seen as welcome by some here?” a reporter asked during a press briefing.
“I don’t think we have a particular view on that other than to say that we certainly note the unprecedented nature of it,” Psaki said. “What we are mindful of, and I spoke with the president about exactly this question yesterday, and obviously it’s up to the Department of Justice to determine what, if any, action they will take, and I know obviously there have been calls for that by some Republicans but also members of the Supreme Court.”
