Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts on Monday called for an investigation into the source of the leaked draft decision to overturn Roe v. Wade

"To the extent this betrayal of the confidences of the Court was intended to undermine the integrity of our operations, it will not succeed. The work of the Court will not be affected in any way," he wrote.

"We at the Court are blessed to have a workforce – permanent employees and clerks alike – intensely loyal to the institution and dedicated to the rule of law. Court employees have an exemplary and important tradition of respecting the confidentiality of the judicial process and upholding the trust of the Court. This was a singular and egregious breach of that trust that is an affront to the Court and the community of public servants who work here.”

"I have directed the Marshal of the Court to launch an investigation into the source of the leak," he concluded.
