Romney also said it was “good news” that the president was not charged with obstruction of justice
Sen. Mitt Romney, a frequent critic of President Trump, said in a Friday statement that he was “sickened” by the “dishonesty and misdirection” in the White House revealed in the report by Special Counsel Robert Mueller. Attorney General William Barr released a redacted version of the report to the public Thursday morning.
“I am sickened at the extent and pervasiveness of dishonesty and misdirection by individuals in the highest office in the land, including the president,” the Utah Republican wrote. He said that he was also “appalled” that members of the Trump campaign welcomed assistance from Russia.
However, Romney said at the beginning of his statement that he believed it was “good news” that there was insufficient evidence to charge the president of obstruction of justice.
