9m ago 18:17 Roberts declines to reads Paul's question

Rand Paul has submitted his question, which appears to have included the name of the alleged whistleblower, as the Republican senator threatened to do.

“The presiding officer declines to read the question as submitted,” said Roberts, who then turned to take the next question from Senate Democrats.
