Washington • There he sat, inches away: the subject of President Donald Trump’s recent rant calling him a “pompous ass” and suggesting he should be impeached.
Reporters in the Friday meeting shouted questions at Romney — a Utah Republican sitting to the right of the president he’s criticized multiple times — on whether he would vote to remove Trump from office.
“I didn't hear that,” Romney later told The Salt Lake Tribune. “A lot of questions were being shouted out. But obviously, I'm not going to discuss something of that nature.”
It was the second day in a row Romney and Trump had spent together, a new phase of a complicated relationship between the two who haven’t been the best of allies, and, at times, very publicly at odds.
