A law professor’s reference to Barron Trump, the 13-year-old son of President Donald Trump, during the House Judiciary’s impeachment hearing on Wednesday was met with rebuke by one lawmaker on the panel.

“While the president can name his son Barron, he can’t make him a baron,” Pamela Karlan, a law professor at Stanford University, stated during the hearing.
