Warren puts Justice Roberts in awkward spot with Supreme Court legitimacy question

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) introduced a seemingly awkward dynamic into the impeachment proceedings when she asked if Republicans' likely refusal to allow new witnesses in President Trump's trial would diminish trust in the chief justice or the Supreme Court.

"The question from Senator Warren is for the House managers," Roberts began.

"At a time when large majorities of Americans have lost faith in government, does the fact that the chief justice is presiding over an impeachment trial in which Republican senators have thus far refused to allow witnesses or evidence contribute to the loss of legitimacy of the chief justice, the supreme court, and the constitution?"
