WASHINGTON _ Sen. Rand Paul on Thursday challenged the chief justice of the United States to read aloud, on national television, the name of the alleged whistleblower whose complaint sparked the impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump.
Chief Justice John Roberts, who is presiding over the Trump's Senate impeachment trial, did not take the bait.
For the past day and a half, senators have been submitting questions on index cards to be answered by the House Democratic managers or members of Trump's legal team. Each question is reviewed and read aloud by Roberts on behalf of the senator who submitted it.
