USA Today reports:
Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah, threw cold water on House Republicans’ impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, saying he does not “see any evidence” that the president’s actions warrant his removal from office.
Romney, who has long criticized the GOP’s direction, said in an interview on NBC’s “Meet the Press” that House Republicans “ought to have some evidence” of wrongdoing before opening an impeachment inquiry. “So far, there’s nothing of that nature that’s been provided,” Romney said.
Were he a member in the House, he added, he would vote against the inquiry. Romney’s comments come as House Republicans are slated to vote to formally authorize their impeachment inquiry on Tuesday in a bid to bolster the probe’s legal standing in court.
