Supreme Court leaker of decision overturning Roe still not publicly identified more than 7 months later

The Supreme Court has yet to identify the person who leaked the draft opinion of the Supreme Court case that overturned Roe v. Wade, more than seven months after the leak.

On May 2, Politico published a draft of the decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization, the major abortion case that would eventually overturn Roe v. Wade. The unprecedented leak triggered protests across the country and at the justices' homes that continued for months.

In a rare statement on May 3, Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts said the court would investigate how the opinion got out and said the leak "was a singular and egregious breach of that trust that is an affront to the Court and the community of public servants who work here."
