Leaked memos show that Chief Justice John Roberts pressured his Supreme Court colleagues to give him a key role in cases against Donald Trump.
The conservative judge took the lead in the March case over whether states could remove the former president from their ballots because of his role in the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.
According to memos leaked to The New York Times, Roberts demanded a unanimous decision from the judge.
He also took charge of the prosecution of the January 6 rioters after his conservative colleague became embroiled in a feud over his wife flying the Stars and Stripes upside down outside their home.
