Ginni Thomas Acquitted of Abortion Leaks in SCOTUS Inquiry

Ginni Thomas, a conservative activist and wife of Justice Clarence Thomas, appears to have been acquitted of the US Supreme Court investigation into who leaked the draft opinion on last year’s Dobbs decision.

“During the investigation, I spoke to each of the judges, several times. The judges actively participated in this iterative process, asking questions and answering mine. I have followed up all credible leads, none of which involved the judges or their spouses,” Supreme Court Marshal Gail Curley said in a statement Friday.

“On that basis, I did not find it necessary to ask the judges to sign affidavits,” Curley added.

Curley’s comments came after some Twitter users on Thursday expressed their doubts about whether the judges in the inquiry were being investigated to find out who was responsible for leaking the draft opinion.

Meanwhile, journalist Sydney Bauer tweeted on Thursday, “They definitely didn’t question the judiciary that leaked that.”

“Sit Alito and [Justice Clarence] Thomas under a lie detector and see how quickly they get to the bottom of it,” another user wrote.

Attorney Michael Chertoff, a former Secretary of Homeland Security, was consulted by the court to assess his investigation, and after his “thorough” review, Chertoff said he could not identify any additional investigative action that could have been taken in this investigation, the authorities said SCOTUS Statement.
