It was during President Donald Trump’s impeachment trials that the public learned he wanted to investigate Hunter Biden and Burisma in Ukraine. As the Senate take the matters into their own hands, Senator Mitt Romney calls out his fellow Republican Senators, criticizing their efforts to push the investigation into Biden and Burisma.
In an interview with Manu Raju of CNN, Romney expressed that he did not like the factors that come into play regarding fellow Republican Senator Ron Johnson’s part in investigating former vice president Joe Biden and the dismissal of a Ukrainian prosecutor during the time his son Hunter Biden was on the board for Burisma, Ukraine’s energy company. Romney explained that the investigation into Burisma leans more towards political compared to simply finding out the truth.
The senator also commented that the Senate has other things to worry about than Biden and Burisma. “We also have a lot to do on matters that are not related to Burisma. We probably ought to focus on those things,” said Romney.
Many have questioned Biden’s actions of having Viktor Shokin fired during the time his son was on the board of Burisma due to conflict of interest. However, it was revealed that Biden’s hand in having Shokin dismissed as part of an initiative driven to get rid of corruption. It was a move that was supported by the United States, the European Union, and the International Monetary Fund. Incidentally, Shokin was not investigating Burisma at the time he was dismissed as well.
Politico reports that the Senate Homeland Security Committee will be making the vote next week on whether or not to subpoena records related to the Biden-Burisma investigation. Romney has considered voting against the subpoena, thus his calling out of Johnson and his fellow Republican Senators. This investigation coincides with Joe Biden’s sudden lead among the primaries as the top Democrat presidential candidate, and thus Romney’s reasoning that it would look too political in nature, especially as Trump has publicly said he would use this as leverage against his Democrat rival.
Should Romney side with the Democrats and vote against the subpoena, the Senate will have a 7-7 tie on their hands, resulting in no subpoena.
