After getting snubbed by Chief Justice Roberts, Rand Paul read his question aloud.
Update: Paul was once again denied a question about whistleblower Eric Ciaramella by Chief Justice Roberts during Thursday's round of impeachment questions in the Senate.
Sen. Rand Paul was spitting mad Wednesday night after Chief Justice John Roberts blocked his question concerning the CIA whistleblower at the heart of the impeachment of President Trump.
According to both Politico and The Hill, Roberts told Senators that he wouldn't read Paul's question, or any other question which would require him to publicly say the whistleblower's name or otherwise reveal his identity - which has been widely reported as CIA analyst Eric Ciaramella, who worked for the National Security Council under the Obama and Trump administrations - and who consulted with Rep. Adam Schiff's staff prior to filing the complaint.
Paul has submitted at least one question with the name of a person believed to be the whistleblower, although it was rejected.
Sen. Mike Lee composed and asked a question regarding the whistleblower earlier Wednesday that tiptoed around identifying the source who essentially sparked the House impeachment drive.
Paul could name the whistleblower on the floor without violation federal law.
