Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) will vote to subpoena a former consultant linked to Burisma Holdings, as part of a GOP probe into Hunter Biden and the Ukraine gas company.

Liz Johnson, a spokeswoman for Romney, said Friday that he would support the subpoena — which is expected to request documents and an interview with former Blue Star Strategies consultant Andrii Telizhenko — during Wednesday's committee meeting after getting assurances from Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.).

“Senator Romney has expressed his concerns to Chairman Johnson, who has confirmed that any interview of the witness would occur in a closed setting without a hearing or public spectacle. He will therefore vote to let the Chairman proceed to obtain the documents that have been offered," Johnson said.

Romney's support means Johnson, who chairs the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, is expected to have the simple majority on the panel needed to subpoena Telizhenko.


Damnit, Trump got to him.

1. No. He's just a republican.

When it matters, he’s just another republican. We all got excited about his moral compass when he voted yes on article I...a vote thst was never going to change the outcome.

Here, where it would have mattered...he’s just another republican as usual.

4. Hip Hip, hooray! For he's a

jolly good... wait, what?

6. Shouldn't they be investigating

Kushner, and how he was able to save his 666 property? Kushner is actually in the White House.

10. Yep

All the Trumps should be fair game now. From Ivanka with her China contracts to Dumb and Dumber for their shady business dealings and influence peddling

[steve2470]

11. exactly

There is so much to investigate about Kushner and Ivanka, the Grifters-in-Chief.

12. What are you talking about? the corrupt gop controls the Senate.

They're desperate

[steve2470]

13. I never said it will happen, I'm well aware of that fact nt

[0rganism]

16. maybe in the house

the senate is officially Trump's whore

7. Why are you worried? I don't think Hunter Or Joe did anything wrong. If you try to hide the docs,

it's only going to make them look guilty.

8. this BS will influence low-information voters

WE all know it's BS... the Trumpers won't vote for Biden or Sanders...but the low information voters who could influence battleground states have no clue.

I'm not too worried except for those low-information voters. The low-information voters were swayed by the total BS about Hillary's emails and Comey's public declarations about it.

In my opinion, MOST voters are low-information, compared to DU.

17. Its a counter narrative.

It doesn't matter if it's true. it's just supposed to drag Dems down into the mire and get them dirty.

[napi21]

19. I know that's their intent. DT already initiated the suspicions months ago. I'm going to assume th

documents they're looking for will not show any proof of their accusations & Joe has already said he & his campaign are going to fight this BS. I just think it's better to get everything out in the open and smash the GOP BS before it start again.

9. He is going to cause himself an injury straddling

the line between good and evil.

14. Don't trust romney as far as I could drop him

so wake up folks ... he is a big time GOP insider, bishop for the LDS

watch or watch at 3 min mark ... never forget what a solid bastard this guy is

[Golden Raisin]

15. Romney is a weathervane. Any prevailing wind

on a given day. Democrats should be going after all adult Trump children and Jared like wildfire. No more "high road". Republicans will pound you into the ground and then piss on you. Time for Democrats to fight back in kind.

[greatauntoftriplets]

18. He's that naive?

20. The Benghazi strategy all over again
