Chief Justice John Roberts on May 30 declined a request to meet with Democrat senators who want a Supreme Court justice to recuse himself from cases involving former President Donald Trump and the Jan. 6, 2021, breach of the U.S. Capitol.
“I must respectfully decline your request for a meeting,” Chief Justice Roberts told Sens. Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) in a letter obtained by The Epoch Times.
