Supreme Court Justice Neil Gorsuch said he hopes the committee will finish their report on the leak of the draft of the Supreme Court’s opinion on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health.
“The chief justice appointed an internal committee to oversee the investigation,” Gorsuch said, according to Fox News. “That committee has been busy, and we’re looking forward to their report, I hope, soon.”
The majority draft opinion that eventually overturned the landmark decision from 1973– which made abortion legal nationwide–was leaked in May, almost two months before the opinion was officially handed down.
According to Fox News, the Supreme Court justice spoke to lawyers and judges Thursday in Colorado Springs at the 10th Circuit Judicial Conference.
There haven’t been many updates since Chief Justice John Roberts asked the Court marshal to launch an internal inquiry, and it’s unclear if the court’s leak report would be made public.
Fox News was previously informed by numerous sources the investigation has been focused on the roughly 70 court employees who might have had access to the draft ruling.
