After House Republicans officially reclaim control of the lower chamber of Congress next year, they will investigate the leak of the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade.
Eight months after the leak and an internal Supreme Court investigation, there is still no word on who gave a draft of the Dobbs decision to a news outlet, which enraged Republicans and helped fire up liberals against the expected decision.
Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio, a pro-life Republican expected to become chairman of the Judiciary Committee, says he plans to investigate both the leak and the subsequent violence against churches, pregnancy centers and pro-life groups.
“Dozens and dozens of churches were attacked, dozens and dozens of pro-life crisis pregnancy centers were attacked, protests occurred at Supreme Court justices’ homes, and there was an assassination attempt on Justice Kavanaugh. But to date, in this Congress, not one hearing in the House Judiciary Committee about that leak. Not one hearing,” Jordan said.
