The SCOTUS Leak Investigation Is Heating Up

Supreme Court clerks are being pressed to turn over their phones. Whispers of criminal statutes being invoked abound. Basically, whomever leaked the draft of Justice Samuel Alito's decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization might be in a whole lot of trouble. But did they actually commit a crime?

In this episode of Boom! Lawyered, co-hosts Jessica Mason Pieklo and Imani Gandy discuss the latest drama in the investigation of "SCOTUSgate" ("Leakgate?"), the laws that may or may not apply, and a wild case of Supreme Court leakiness from the early 20th century that foreshadows all of this.
