Chief Justice Roberts ‘Likely’ To Order Investigation Of SCOTUS Leak: Report

Chief Justice John Roberts will likely order a full FBI investigation into the leaked Supreme Court draft, according to a new report from CBS.

The news comes hours after an unprecedented leak of a draft majority opinion that showed the Court could be set to overturn the landmark 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling.

“Chief Justice Roberts is likely to order a full investigation involving the FBI into the reported leak of a draft majority opinion, reports @JanCBS — as some question if it will throw the Supreme Court’s legitimacy into question,” CBS Mornings tweeted early Monday.
