Breaking: SCOTUS marshal interviewed all nine justices in leak probe

The Supreme Court’s internal investigation into who leaked a draft of the opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, the 1973 decision that had established a constitutional right to abortion, included interviews with all nine justices, the marshal of the court said in a statement on Friday.

The clarification by the marshal, Gail A. Curley, who oversaw the inquiry, followed widespread speculation over its scope. In a 20-page report on Thursday, Ms. Curley disclosed that the investigation had not turned up the source of the leak while leaving ambiguous whether it had extended to grilling the justices themselves.

But in a statement on Friday, Ms. Curley said she had interviewed them.

“During the course of the investigation, I spoke with each of the justices, several on multiple occasions,” Ms. Curley said. “The justices actively cooperated in this iterative process, asking questions and answering mine.”
