Democrats have condemned the investigation as politically-motivated and questioned whether the timing of the subpoena was due to Joe Biden's recent electoral success.

The spokesperson for Romney confirmed his intention to vote in favor of the subpoena in a statement on Friday. Romney had initially expressed concern that the probe into Burisma, lead by Sens. Johnson, R-Wis., and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, was too"political."

"Senator Romney has expressed his concerns to Chairman Johnson, who has confirmed that any interview of the witness would occur in a closed door setting without a hearing or public spectacle," Romney's spokesperson said in the statement."He will therefore vote to let the Chairman proceed to obtain the documents that have been offered."

Senator Mitt Romney, a Republican from Utah, listens during a U.S. Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions hearing at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., March 3, 2020.The subpoena seeks records from Adrii Telizhenko, a former Ukraine diplomat and consultant at Blue Star Strategies -- a public affairs firm that represented Burisma in the United States.

No! Been trying for years to get the truth out!!!

This is why Joe is still in the race... so he can cry that investigating him and his “bright” son is politically motivated 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪 Shouldnt be afraid.... Trump is more popular after all the politically motivated investigations dems tried 😊

Whomever the subpoena is for doesn't have to show. Trump made it possible for anyone that is subpoena to not go. Nothing they can do about. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Investigate the spawn of Satan Ivanka, Eric and Donnie Jr. they are the real criminals stealing right in public to enable diaper dad

kimkateley Thanks, Mitt. MittRomney Kissing up and making nice, again.

This is just bullshit!

Democrats condemn political motivated investigations if it could hurt them*. Fixed it

Two faced Mitt Romney😝

And with all that has happened, how can we, the US people, believe ANYTHING that comes from this investigation. I can see Trump arranging false documents to ' take down' his enemy Joe Biden. The WH is like the boy who cried wolf-nothing can be believed.

Glad I didn’t buy into Romney’s faith and conscience bologna when he supported impeachment. Leopards never change their spots.

Get Mitt Romney out of everything

What goes around comes around.

Time to actually investigate democrats.

How about getting the Lawless Con-Man-in-Chief's Taxes?!? Medical Records...!!! From Birther BS...to Hillary's Emails...to Undoing All Obama Goodness...to smearing Mueller reports...to having Minion$ Defy Subpoenas...Lies, Maligning, Lawlessness, & Undermining Justice; Pathetic!

Investigate the investigators.

And impeachment wasn't politically motivated?

You think...

And nothing about all the investigations and impeachment inquiries for Trump were politically motivated. 😂😂

If they pick joe Biden they are going to lose anyway

WITCH HUNT!

A taste of their own medicine. This is very funny

Well, 45 did set a precedent for ignoring subpoenas. That's what the Bidens should do.

Wasn’t Mitt reluctant to do this?

They can do whatever they want,Trumps getting voted out.Doesnt matter what spin they put on this

Of course it's politically motivated. How can there be subpoenas for testimony , Don't I remember a case where testimony wasn't necessary, or documents . If it wasn't necessary then why is it now ? Trump's tax returns . Aren't they required by law ?

What’s good for the goose is good for the dementia man 😀😀😀😀

So investigating Biden as a presidential candidate for admitted wrongdoing as the Vice President is not ok, but Trump gets impeached for doing less and without the proof available in this case? I now see why the orange idiot doesn’t trust the media

party politics as usual. Fix the problems here in the USA and quit bickering

we the american ppl deserve the whole truth abt alleged corruption by politicians/families. such alleged corruption should be fully investigated by doj n congress. we want the truth.

Joe needs to be investigated.

😡🤬

Joe Biden must be investigated. The threat of Biden selling out our country to China is too great. Just because he is running for President doesn’t mean there shouldn’t be criminal investigation. The American people must rid our politics of criminals.

They should subpoena Joe And Hunter.

Lmfao!

There is NO right or wrong time to go after criminals. Go after Joe Biden for his corrupt dealings NOW!!!

Of course, it is politically-motivated!! But if the Republicans are eager to know the truth, why not subpoena all relevant witnesses including ex-NSA Bolton?! Anyway, even if he were found guilty, it should not affect VP Biden! Trump's actions have been very corrupt! Drain?!😆😁!

The Democrats are calling an investigation political. Shaking my head so hard my ears are getting windburn.

It got Trump ImpeachedForeverTrump let him do it again.

This investigation started way before, get a clue dumbarticles

Subpoenas? Who cares? Ignore them. That’s what we do now, no? What Republican could possibly think we would think subpoenas have any kind of seriousness to them now?

Are you people not paying attention Take 1 minute 16 seconds of your life to listen to this, and then say it's politically motivated.. If you can, be assured that you have been programmed by the Enemy Of The People and it's time to wake up Les hear it

Hey did you guys report on the Ukraine Prosecutor Shokin who filed criminal charges against Joe and Hunter Biden prior to Super Thursday? I mean Tuesday. Just curious.

Democrats & DNC are corrupt to the core. Just ask TulsiGabbard

The Republican should investigate Biden his son if the other side was involved the Democrats would do the same

So what. Just copy Trump & GOP and ignore all subpoenas...

Mitt, do Hillary again too. You know emails and Uranium one. Nobody knows the USA buys 90% of it's Uranium from Canada, Australia, and RUSSIA (the largest producer in the world). Say Hillary sold THEM Uranium. AHAHAHAHA

If he has nothing to worry about, he'll be fine. he should invite the scrutiny before the general election to clear this situation beforehand. thats unless well... hes guilty

Senate Democrats argue that Democrat elected officials are above the law and should be immune from anti-corruption investigations.

Ya think?

Looks like Romney caught Susan Collins Disease

It's about time the fingers were pointed in the right direction to insure a 'real' investigation takes place and not some off the cuff 'Witch Hunt' like the Dems and Nancy P. have done.

Investigate Ivanka!!!!

No it was due to his having egs over easy instead of scrambled. I mean come the fk on what kind of question is that of ofcourse this fake investigation is to try and help trump win a second term. If it was real it would look at hunter only not joe biden who had no seat on board

laura_greenaura Non criminal presidents release their tax returns Non deplorable people expect their presidential candidates to release their tax returns. Why wouldn’t GOP be more interested in Trump’s taxes than Biden’s son. Biden released his taxes. We are still waiting on Trump’s from 2016

Well then the House should look in to the trump kids business dealings...

you think? Of course it is, and the matter has already been investigated. We should ask for an investigation into conflicts of interest surrounding the Trump family's business practices since he has been in office.

Yes but we are ready for the war against the GOP !

Romney goes from hero right back down to zero

Yeah, that's gonna work out great.

How’s it feel?

Of course it is
