Gorsuch: 'Roe' leaker may be revealed "soon"

‘Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch has given a potential timeline for when the identity of the person or persons who leaked the ‘Roe’ preliminary draft opinion in May could be revealed. In June, the Supreme Court overturned the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion in all states. Gorsuch believes that the Court may soon announce at least some findings from its internal investigation.

“The chief justice appointed an internal committee to oversee the investigation,” Gorsuch said. “That committee has been busy, and we’re looking forward to their report, I hope, soon.”

At the time, the nation’s highest court admitted that a “copy of a draft opinion in a pending case” was made public, but added that it did “not represent a decision by the Court or the final position of any member on the issues in the case.”
