Chief Justice John Roberts blocked a question from Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) from being asked at the Senate impeachment trial of President Trump on Wednesday, according to reports. The question and answer session involves written questions submitted to Roberts, who is presiding over the trial, who then reads the question aloud. The questions posed to the Democrat House Managers and President Trump's legal team alternate between Republicans and Democrat senators. Paul could be heard arguing on the Senate floor to have his question asked.

Paul's reported question had to do with the interactions of named persons with Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and members of his staff.
