During a Senate floor speech on Tuesday, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) repeatedly revealed the name of the alleged whistleblower at the heart of President Donald Trumpâs impeachment while displaying a poster that identified the person. Reading aloud his impeachment trial question that Chief Justice John Roberts disallowed because it included the personâs name, the Kentucky senator insisted that his question âdid not accuse anybody of being a whistleblowerâ because he is still unaware who the whistleblower is.
Following Paulâs 15-minute speech, CNN reporter Manu Raju asked the Republican lawmaker why he singled out the alleged whistleblower. âI would say the Chief Justice did that,â Paul replied. âBy not allowing the questionâheâs sort of confirming to the public who it is. I have no idea who it is. I donât have any independent information.
