U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts arrives at the U.S. Capitol to be sworn in and swear in senators before the start of the Senate Impeachment trial against President Donald Trump, in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 16.

Chief Justice John Roberts on Friday put to rest speculation about whether he would have broken a tie vote in the Senate impeachment trial of President Donald Trump, saying it would have been “inappropriate” for him to do so.
Roberts made the comments shortly after a tight Senate vote, 51-49, against hearing witnesses and collecting further evidence in the trial.
