A former health care worker facing charges for allegedly posting the medical records of the late Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on a controversial message board has denied accessing the documents. The accused, Trent James Russell, informed a federal court that he rarely thought about members of the Supreme Court, including Ginsburg.
Prosecutors claim that Russell accessed Ginsburg's medical records while she was battling cancer and shared them on the message board 4chan in 2019. Russell, who was working as an organ transplant coordinator at the time, has pleaded not guilty to violating federal medical privacy laws.
