Justice Alito denies leaking results of 2014 Hobby Lobby ruling, report

ANALYSIS:

Supreme Court Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. denied Saturday a New York Times report alleging he leaked the results of the 2014 Hobby Lobby ruling, where the court said the feds couldn’t mandate corporations cover contraception under the Affordable Care Act.

A former pro-life leader, Rev. Rob Schenck, reportedly sent a letter to Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr. in June and told the New York Times — which published its report detailing the allegations on Saturday — that he learned of the outcome of Burwell v. Hobby Lobby Stores prior to its release.
