Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) says if(!!!) President Trump pressured the president of Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden’s son, he would find that “troubling in the extreme.”
Romney also stressed the “critical” need for the facts to come out.
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.

Will the “critical for the facts to come out” part of Romney’s tweet be considered or just the “troubling in the extreme” part?

Clear disapproval from congressional Republicans sometimes causes Trump to either walk back a policy or not follow through on something he was planning to do. One potential (but very unlikely) outcome here is that Trump withdraws whatever request he made to the Ukrainians. https://t.co/E6JJnDptCA
