Fox News host Laura Ingraham said the FBI should get involved in investigating the recent leak of a Supreme Court ruling suggesting the court is going to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Ingraham said during a segment on her Monday show that Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts needs to open an investigation into the identity of who leaked the opinion to Politico.
"It's incumbent upon him to bring in every law clerk before him or the FBI. 'Give me your phone. We want all your accounts. We've got to do our own — look at every device you've ever used and find out who did this,'" Ingraham said.
Ingraham also implied the leak involved a liberal clerk and that it was an attempt to affect the expected outcome.
HUNDREDS PROTEST IN FRONT OF SUPREME COURT AMID LEAKED ROE V. WADE DECISION
Ingraham's arguments echo similar statements from other conservatives, including Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO). Hawley claimed the leak was an attempt by members of the Left to change the decision.
Leaks like this are unheard of in the court's modern history and have minimal precedent. Roberts is expected to order a full inquiry into the source leak involving the FBI on Tuesday, according to CBS News.
Some view the decision from the Supreme Court as a threat to individual rights. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) claimed that "SCOTUS isn’t just coming for abortion — they’re coming for the right to privacy Roe rests on, which includes gay marriage + civil rights."
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) issued a joint statement condemning the decision, arguing that it would "inflict the greatest restriction of rights in the past fifty years — not just on women but on all Americans."

The court’s holding will not be final until it is published, likely in the next two months.
