Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) will vote to subpoena a former consultant linked to Burisma Holdings, as part of a GOP probe into Hunter Biden and the Ukraine gas company.
Liz Johnson, a spokeswoman for Romney, said Friday that he would support the subpoena — which is expected to request documents and an interview with former Blue Star Strategies consultant Andrii Telizhenko — during Wednesday's committee meeting after getting assurances from Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.).
“Senator Romney has expressed his concerns to Chairman Johnson, who has confirmed that any interview of the witness would occur in a closed setting without a hearing or public spectacle. He will therefore vote to let the Chairman proceed to obtain the documents that have been offered," Johnson said.
Romney's support means Johnson, who chairs the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, is expected to have the simple majority on the panel needed to subpoena Telizhenko.
Damnit, Trump got to him.

This guy is a legend and must be driving Trump totally nuts, because 1) he's a legend and 2) it would look really bad to fire him because he is making Trump look stupid and ignorant and corrupt.
I remember this man from back in the 80's, with the AIDS epidemic, always professional and correct about facts.
Thank you thread for Dr. Anthony Fauci, head of NIAD and our national educator about coronavirus
