I know the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court "presides" over the Impeachment Trial...

but....

Do the rules of procedure for the Senate (Jefferson's Manual for Legislative Procedure as modified by Senate rules) apply?

Does Moscow Mitch still set the rules?

Or, doe the Chief Justice follow rules (like rules for Civil Procedure) and enforce them?

Can somebody more experienced than I answer that?
