A widely shared story that claims U.S. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg told The Associated Press that she plans to resign from the Supreme Court in protest of Republican President-elect Donald Trump is false. According to the AP, the false story was posted by several websites in December and versions of it have been in circulation since last July. The false story includes one accurate quote but also several paragraphs of fabricated quotes attributed to Ginsburg. At age 83, Ginsburg is the court’s oldest justice, but has announced no plans to retire. WRCB-TV has the story.
