Mitt Romney declines to speak out against Michelle Bachmann

[cali]

Mitt Romney declined to speak out against Rep. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) and four other House Republicans on Friday for seeking to investigate whether Huma Abedin, a top aide to Hillary Clinton, has ties to the Muslim Brotherhood.

Following a campaign event in Reno, Nev., a reporter asked the presumptive Republican presidential nominee for his reaction to both Bachmann's allegations against Abedin and a controversy surrounding Chick-Fil-A and gay marriage.

“I’m not going to tell other people what things to talk about," Romney responded. "Those are not things that are part of my campaign.”

Shortly after the GOP lawmakers announced their inquiry in a letter to the State Department in July, a number of Republican members of Congress condemned the allegations against Abedin. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) called their claims "an unwarranted and unfounded attack on an honorable woman," while House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said such allegations are "pretty dangerous."
