Supreme Court Marshal Gail A. Curley, tasked to investigate the draft opinion leak signaling the overturning of Roe v. Wade, released a statement on Friday saying the justices were interviewed as part of the investigation but were not implicated in the leak.
Chief Justice John Roberts tasked Curley to head up the unprecedented leak after a May 2 Politico report posted an authentic draft of the Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization opinion.

Throughout the course of the investigation, Curley spoke with each of the justices on multiple occasions and determined neither the justices nor their spouses were responsible for leaking the opinion and were not asked to sign sworn affidavits.
“The Justices actively cooperated in this iterative process, asking questions and answering mine. I followed up on all credible leads, none of which implicated the Justices or their spouses. On this basis, I did not believe that it was necessary to ask the Justices to sign sworn affidavits,” Curley wrote in a one-paragraph statement.
