Mitt Romney Reluctantly Agrees to Subpoena Information About Hunter Biden’s ‘Work’ in Ukraine
By Townhall. Utah Republican Senator Mitt Romney will vote in favor of subpoenaing documents about Hunter Biden’s work for Ukrainian gas company Burisma. Biden was on the board of the notoriously corrupt company while his father, former Vice President Joe Biden, was in charge of the Ukraine profile during the Obama administration. He was paid up to $80,000 per month despite having no experience in the oil and gas industry.

Romney’s decision comes after he voted to convict President Trump on one article of impeachment, abuse of power, in February. President Trump was impeached by Democrats over a July 25, 2020 phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, in which he mentioned potentially corrupt practices by Joe and Hunter Biden.
“There’s a lot of talk about Biden’s son, that Biden stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great. Biden went around bragging that he stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it…It sounds horrible to me,” Trump said.

Romney Claims Senate Probe Into Hunter Biden ‘Appears Political’
By National Review. Senator Mitt Romney (R., Utah) warned Thursday that Senator Ron Johnson’s (R., Wis.) probe into the Bidens and Burisma “appears political,” and would not comment whether he would vote for a subpoena that Johnson is planning.
“There’s no question that the appearance of looking into Burisima and Hunter Biden appears political. I think people are tired of these kind of political investigations,” Romney told reporters, adding that he needs to meet with Johnson to “see what information he has” before deciding on a vote.
But he suggested he was uncomfortable with the probe, implying that it was not within the purview of the Senate Homeland Security Committee — which Johnson chairs and Romney serves on.
“I would hope that there’s something of significance that needs to be evaluated that would be done perhaps the FBI or some other agency, although it’s not as political as perhaps a committee of our body,” he said. “We also have a lot of work to do on matters that are not related to Burisma. We probably ought to focus on those things.” (Read more from “Romney Claims Senate Probe Into Hunter Biden ‘Appears Political’” HERE)
