Fact Check: RBG Did NOT Tweet On The Day She Died 'I Have Information That Will Lead To The Arrest Of Hillary Clinton' Fake Tweet

No, that's not true: A tweet the purportedly was posted by the now-deceased Supreme Court justice is a fake. Known as the Notorious RBG for her cultural importance, the 87-year-old justice did not have a Twitter account.

I have information that will lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton.
