Did Amit Jain Leak Supreme Court Draft?
Amit Jain has been alleged to have leaked the abortion draft by Samuel Alito. Jain criticized Yale for backing Brett Kavanaugh’s nomination as a Yale undergraduate. In a 2017 study, Politico’s Josh Gerstein assessed his net worth.
According to a leaked draft judgment released by Politico on Monday, a majority of the United States Supreme Court has decided to overturn the landmark 1973 case Roe v. Wade, which established the right to abortion over 50 years ago.
The validity of the document Politico released could not be confirmed immediately by National Public Radio.
