Politico on Heightened Alert After Publishing Leaked SCOTUS Draft
Politico is on heightened alert after publishing a bombshell leaked Supreme Court draft opinion overturning Roe v Wade.
In a memo emailed to all staff on Tuesday, the influential D.C. news outlet outlined additional security precautions now in place as a result of the story, which was based on an unprecedented leak out of the high court and suggested a conservative majority intends to strike down the landmark 1973 decision establishing a legal right to an abortion.
“Given the heightened visibility to POLITICO following our reporting on the Supreme Court last night, we would like to ensure that you are aware of several additional safety measures that we are proactively putting in place,” Politico’s Chief Talent Officer Traci Schweikert wrote atop the memo obtained and reviewed by The Daily Beast.
