Leonard Leo, the powerful and well-funded leader of the Federalist Society who prevailed on the Trump Administration to nominate a slate of conservative, anti-abortion jurists to the Supreme Court, is now the subject of “We Don’t Talk About Leonard,” a new Pro Publica investigation and podcast. Now that he has created a right wing supermajority on the Supreme Court, “Leo has grander ambitions,” according to Pro Publica, “which include fighting against ‘wokism’ in education, ‘one-sided’ journalism, and ideas like environmental, social and governance policies” in corporate America. We learn what Pro Publica’s reporters have uncovered.
