In late December 2020, attorney Lin Wood made a series of explosive and unverified claims on Twitter targeting Chief Justice John Roberts. Among the most serious accusations were that Roberts was involved in a child trafficking ring and that he played a role in the death of Justice Antonin Scalia. Wood also claimed that Jeffrey Epstein was still alive and held damaging information about Roberts.

Though the original tweets are no longer accessible due to the permanent suspension of Wood’s Twitter account in January 2021, multiple reputable sources including The Daily Beast, Newsweek, and The Independent documented the claims at the time.
