Man Sentenced to 2 Years for Leaking Ginsburg's Health Records
TL;DR
A former medical worker, Trent J. Russell, was sentenced to two years in prison for illegally accessing and leaking Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg's hospital records during her cancer treatment in 2019. The leaked information, which appeared on 4chan, contributed to an antisemitic conspiracy theory about Ginsburg's death being covered up to prevent a conservative Supreme Court appointment by President Trump.
