Mitt Romney Hints He’ll Block Republican Attempt at Biden Subpoena
< < Go Back
As some Twitter voices howled “Democrat Romney to the rescue,” Republican Sen. Mitt Romney of Utah has indicated he could stop a Senate investigation into former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, in its tracks.
Next week, the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, of which Romney is a member, is scheduled to vote on issuing a subpoena that relates to Hunter Biden’s work for Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian energy company.
“I would prefer that investigations are done by an independent, nonpolitical body,” Romney told The Washington Post. “There’s no question the appearance is not good.”
“I think people are tired of these kind of political investigations,” Romney said.
If Romney opposes the subpoena, it would block the subpoena from being issued, turning the two-vote GOP edge on the committee into a tie.
“With regards to Hunter Biden, taking excessive advantage of his father’s name is unsavory but also not a crime,” Romney said.
