Republican Sen. Mitt Romney (UT) added his name to the list of leaders commenting on Donald Trump's indictment for theft of documents and conspiracy to obstruct justice Friday.
In a statement, Romney clarified that this is more significant than other legal woes Trump faces.
"Mr. Trump brought these charges upon himself by not only taking classified documents, but by refusing to simply return them when given numerous opportunities to do so," said Romney.
In a previous statement, Romney attacked Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg for his charges against Trump that he felt were an overreach. In this case, Romney said things are different.
“By all appearances, the Justice Department and special counsel have exercised due care," Romney said.
Romney was the only Senate Republican to vote to remove Trump from office. He did so twice.
