After signaling otherwise earlier in the week, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) — a frequent critic of President Trump and the lone Republican to vote guilty on one of the Democrats’ articles of impeachment — is going to vote in favor of subpoenaing a consultant connected to Burisma Holdings, the Ukrainian energy company that paid Hunter Biden tens of thousands of dollars a month to serve on its board while his father, then-Vice President Joe Biden, headed up U.S.-Ukraine relations.
On Thursday, Romney indicated that he was leaning toward once again breaking with his fellow Republicans to reject the measure, telling reporters, “There’s no question but that the appearance of looking into Burisma and Hunter Biden appears political, and I think people are tired of these kind of political investigations.” The senator added that he “would prefer that investigations are done by an independent, nonpolitical body.”
