Alito says Supreme Court leak made him a 'target for assassination'
Fox News
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito said Tuesday that the unprecedented leak of the draft abortion case opinion made him feel like a “target of assassination.”
Alito did not appear to have knowledge of the leaker's identity months after the May leak of the draft Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization opinion, which he wrote. Alito said the leak "was a grave betrayal of trust by somebody." Brianna Herlihy is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.
Alito said the leak was a "shock" and "certainly changed the atmosphere at the court for the remainder of last term."
