Ap Fact Check: Ruth Bader Ginsburg not resigning over Trump

A widely shared story that claims 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. The story was posted by several websites in December and versions of it have been in circulation since soon after the AP published its interview with Ginsburg on July 7. Ginsburg told the AP when asked about a potential Trump presidency: “I don’t want to think about that possibility, but if it should be, then everything is up for grabs.”
