Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito says he has a "pretty good idea" on who leaked a draft version of a ruling that would overturn Roe v. Wade.
Alito made the comments in an interview with the Wall Street Journal published Friday, stating that while he knows who likely leaked the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization draft decision, it's not enough for the court to name someone.
The draft decision, published by Politico on May 2, 2022, eventually overturned Roe v. Wade.
"I personally have a pretty good idea who is responsible, but thatโs different from the level of proof that is needed to name somebody," Alito said.
