Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was admitted to Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland early Tuesday morning for treatment of a possible infection, according to a statement.
She was initially evaluated at Sibley Memorial Hospital in Washington, D.C. after experiencing fever and chills.
She underwent an endoscopic procedure at Johns Hopkins this afternoon to clean out a bile duct stent that was placed in August.
She is resting comfortably and will stay there for a few days for antibiotic treatment.
