The U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday issued a report stating that it has yet to determine responsibility for the leak to the media of the landmark Roe v. Wade ruling, the legal precedent for abortion in the country since 1973, which was overturned.
Specifically, he said that «to date he has not been able to identify any person responsible» while ensuring that it is «unlikely» that the leak is due to a computer attack, as stated by CNN.
The investigation team conducted 126 interviews with 97 employees who denied the leak. They also conducted a fingerprint analysis and investigated possible connections between employees and journalists.
«In May 2022, this court suffered one of the worst breaches of trust in its history: the leak of a draft opinion. The leak was not merely a misguided attempt at protest. It was a serious assault on the judicial process,» the text reads.
The leaked document, 98 pages long, was written by Judge Samuel Alito and ‘gave the green light’ to the reversal of the historic ‘Roe v. Wade’ ruling, which recognizes the constitutional right to terminate a pregnancy, which led to massive protests in the United States.
