Sen. Rand Paul says that a Senate impeachment trial of former President Donald Trump that doesn’t include Chief Justice John Roberts would be an illegitimate process.
“If Justice Roberts won’t preside over this sham ‘impeachment’ then why would it ever be considered legitimate?†the Kentucky Republican tweeted Friday. “Hint: It won’t be.â€
Later in the day, Paul joined Fox News’s Sean Hannity and elaborated on his impeachment stance, calling it an “illegitimate procedure†if Roberts isn’t there.
“It isn’t a real impeachment. It’s going to be a fake, partisan impeachment,†Paul said about a process without Roberts.
