President Donald Trump in an interview that was aired Wednesday said he is ready to name replacements for any Supreme Court justice should they retire.

“It could be two, could be three, could be one. I don’t know—I’m prepared to do it,” he told Fox Business’s Maria Bartiromo in an interview that was aired on Wednesday morning, referring to the high court justices when she asked Trump about speculation that they would step down.
