Clarence Thomas Alabama Redistricting Case Takes Shocking New Turn After Anonymous Leak of Supreme Court Internal Memo
A viral rumor sweeping social media this morning claims that an anonymous whistleblower has leaked a private memo from the chambers of Justice Clarence Thomas, suggesting he exchanged draft opinions in the Alabama redistricting case with an outside political operative. Fact-checkers have analyzed the claims: The story appears to be entirely fabricated. There is no verified leak, no such memo has been released by any credible news outlet, and the Supreme Court's official records show no evidence of any such communication. The rumor appears to have originated from a satirical website designed to look like a legitimate legal blog. While the Alabama redistricting case is very real and remains a hotly debated matter involving voting rights, this specific viral claim is false. Do not share this story as fact.
