White House declines to comment on Supreme Court’s mistakenly-uploaded document

Breaking news, we want to go to the White House after that Supreme Court document on the Idaho abortion case was accidentally posted. NBC's Monica Alba is at the White House. I'm also joined by NBC chief political analyst Chuck Todd. Monica, what's the White House saying about this? Well, they're declining to comment on this Bloomberg reporting, Chris. And that's really because of what happened here, of the fact that it appears this was mistakenly posted for just a brief period of time. And so White House official is telling me that they're not going to weigh in on this. Until a decision is formally released in this case, and that has really been the standard operating procedure for the Biden administration as we have seen a multitude of the Supreme Court decisions in recent weeks and they usually weigh in once officially those are posted and they are able to digest. The actual opinion and they can read all of the details and then offer their own perspective on it. Now, with regards to this particular case, the White House has weighed in on what they view should be the decision here if it were up to them, which it's not, in terms of what they would like to see with regards to abortion access and granting these potential emergency abortions in Idaho and in other states. Because President Biden and Vice President Harris have talked repeatedly about the real need here for these decisions to be made between. Women and their doctors, and not because of different states, varying laws and really having that different assortment. But we can also look, Chris, to a couple of years ago when there was the leaked opinion of, of course, the Dobbs decision, what eventually was that and the overturning of Roe V Wade. To the fact that at that moment, too, because it wasn't an official release, the White House didn't comment in a formal capacity initially. But there was also a larger gap in time between when that news broke and the actual decision came down in this case. It's more likely that we'll see this turn around pretty quickly, even this week, so the White House is waiting for that before they say anything further.
