Today Romney surprised literally no one and called for the release of the transcript of the phone call between Trump and Ukraine’s president:
THE HILL – Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) said on Monday that he wants the Trump administration to give Congress the transcript of a highly controversial call between President Trump and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
“I think it would be very helpful to get the transcript. … Absolutely, let’s see the transcript,” Romney told reporters when asked if the transcript should be given to Congress.
Romney, who has emerged as a critic of Trump on issues such as foreign policy, said that whether the conversation between Trump and Zelensky was inappropriate would depend on what they talked about.
“What has been alleged by some news sources is that the president asked for an investigation into Mr. Biden. That would be in my view very inappropriate and a very serious allegation itself, so let’s find out what exactly what was said,” Romney added on Monday.
Romney also tweeted this over the weekend:
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. Critical for the facts to come out.
