Republican Senator Mitt Romney (UT) has sided with Democrats on admonishing Trump for asking foreign leaders to investigate Joe and Hunter Biden.
TheHill reports Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) on Friday broke sharply with President Trump‘s call for China and Ukraine to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, calling it “wrong and appalling.”
“When the only American citizen President Trump singles out for China’s investigation is his political opponent in the midst of the Democratic nomination process, it strains credulity to suggest that it is anything other than politically motivated,” Romney said in a statement, which he also tweeted out.
By all appearances, the President’s brazen and unprecedented appeal to China and to Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden is wrong and appalling.

“China should start an investigation into the Bidens,” Trump said in front of cameras on the South Lawn.
