Senator Mitt Romney of Utah, a Republican, weighed in on the scandal over President Donald Trump's call with Ukraine's new president. Bill Clark/CQ Roll Call
A scandal has been building over President Donald Trump's call with Ukraine's new president. Trump reportedly pressured Ukraine's Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden's son.
Senator Mitt Romney of Utah just weighed in, becoming the first major Republican politician to do so.
"If the President asked or pressured Ukraine's president to investigate his political rival, either directly or through his personal attorney, it would be troubling in the extreme," Romney tweeted. "Critical for the facts to come out."
Romney's remarks come as Democrats, including Biden, have been calling for a transcript of the call to be released. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Rep. Adam Schiff said Sunday that if reports are true, it could lead to impeachment. https://www.businessinsider.com/mitt-ro ... ing-2019-9
