The investigation of special counsel Robert Mueller into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign should be allowed to reach its conclusion, Mitt Romney said Monday, downplaying claims of a “witch hunt” by President Donald Trump and his supporters.
“No one is above the law,” said Romney, a Republican candidate for U.S. Senate in Utah and his party’s 2012 presidential nominee, referring to indictments that have already been produced by Mueller’s team.
The front-runner in Utah’s primary race said everybody hopes to see the investigation completed “sooner rather than later,” but some comparable probes have lasted years.
