Washington • Rep. Chris Stewart on Sunday defended President Donald Trump but declined to weigh in on the president’s continued attacks against Sen. Mitt Romney, a fellow Utahn.
Stewart, a Republican and member of the House Intelligence Committee, told Fox News Sunday that there was nothing political — as Romney has charged — in Trump’s calls for Ukraine and China to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden, a leading candidate for the Democratic presidential nomination. Trump pressed for an investigation in a phone call with the president of Ukraine, and the White House has released a rough transcript of that call.
