John Roberts blocks Rand Paul's question on whistleblower
2020-01-30
[The Hill] Sen. Rand Paul's (R-Ky.) attempt to ask about the whistleblower whose report helped spark the impeachment inquiry is running into a roadblock in the form of Chief Justice John Roberts.

A source confirmed that Roberts has indicated he would not read a question from Paul regarding the whistleblower at the center of the House impeachment inquiry.

The question from Paul is expected to name the individual. Because Roberts is responsible for reading the questions that would put him in the position of publicly outing the person on the Senate floor.

Paul indicated to reporters after a closed-door Republican dinner that he was not backing down from trying to ask his question.

"It’s still an ongoing process; it may happen tomorrow," the libertarian-leaning senator told reporters as he headed back to the Senate chamber.

The Senate is in its first of two days for senators to question both House managers and President Trump's legal team.
