Chief Justice John Roberts has communicated to senators that he will not read aloud the alleged Ukraine whistleblowers name or otherwise publicly relay questions that might out the official, a move thats effectively blocked Sen. Rand Paul from asking a question.
In a behind-the-scenes fight, Paul, a Kentucky Republican, has composed questions that violate Robertss edict, according to several Republicans familiar with the dynamics. Its a vintage Rand Paul effort thats annoying fellow Republicans and could come to a head on Thursday.
Paul who has strongly opposed the impeachment proceedings against President Donald Trump has been floating the alleged whistleblowers name in media interviews for months.
