- Investigators’ next steps remain unclear.

## Summary

US prosecutors have reportedly subpoenaed former Supreme Court workers as part of a criminal investigation into who leaked a draft of the 2022 ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade. The subpoenas mark a new development in an inquiry that has gained momentum roughly four years after the leak, raising questions about how the case will be pursued.

The inquiry is being led by Washington, DC, US attorney Jeanine Pirro, whose office is seeking information from people who worked at the court at the time. The Supreme Court previously investigated the leak internally, while the criminal probe’s next steps remain unclear. The investigation comes amid criticism of the Justice Department over concerns about political influence, and after Pirro’s office struggled to secure indictments in several high-profile cases.
