Mitt Romney on the investigation into the Trump campaign: ‘No one is above the law’

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.
