Romney: Administration should hand over Ukraine transcript
“I think it would be very helpful to get the transcript. … Absolutely, let’s see the transcript,” Romney told reporters when asked if the transcript should be given to Congress.
{mosads}The call between Trump and Zelensky is reportedly tied to an intelligence community whistleblower complaint that has dominated headlines since late last week amid reports that Trump and his attorney Rudy Giuliani attempted to persuade Zelensky to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden or his son Hunter Biden, who had business dealings in the country.
“I did not make a statement that you have to do this or I’m not going to give you aid,” Trump told reporters on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.
Romney, who has emerged as a critic of Trump on issues such as foreign policy, said that whether the conversation between Trump and Zelensky was inappropriate would depend on what they talked about.
“If the President asked or pressured Ukraine’s president to investigate his political rival, either directly or through his personal attorney, it would be troubling in the extreme. Critical for the facts to come out,” he tweeted.
