JUSTICE ALITO ACCUSED OF LEAKING
Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito is denying allegations that he leaked the ruling of a landmark case in 2014.
In addition, denials from key players in the story and a lack of direct evidence corroborating the allegations cast significant doubt on the allegations.
What are the new allegations?
On Saturday, the New York Times published a letter written to Chief Justice John Roberts in July in which Rev. Rob Schenck claims he knew the outcome of Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores, Inc. before the court announced its ruling in the 2014 case.
The case is significant because it held that religious organizations can deny coverage for some contraceptives, in violation of Obamacare.
