Sen. Mitch Romney is suddenly worried about the appearance of Senate Homeland Security Committee Chairman Ron Johnson's investigation into Hunter Biden and his Ukrainian dealings, saying it “appears political” and that perhaps the “FBI or some other agency that's not as political” might be better suited.

Johnson told reporters Wednesday that his committee is likely to release a report on Hunter Biden's ties to Burisma within a month or two. “These are questions that Joe Biden has not adequately answered,” Johnson said. “And if I were a Democrat primary voter, I’d want these questions satisfactorily answered before I cast my final vote.”

Johnson previously said he's planning to force a vote on a subpoena related to the investigation. Romney will be a key swing vote and could play the spoiler should he decide to go against his Republican colleagues.

ROMNEY: “There's no question but that the appearance of looking into Burisma and Hunter Biden appears political, and I think people are tired of these kind of political investigations..."

Sole Republican to join hyperpartisan Democrats in unquestionably political impeachment says that investigation of corruption related to powerful US political players and taxpayer funding of foreign entities looks "political." Even for Mitt Romney, that's pretty Mitt Romney. https://t.co/cpJtEVMoSW — Mollie (@MZHemingway) March 5, 2020

Read a transcript of the video below.

Reporter: Do you have concerns about the appearance of this investigation that this committee is launching into Burisma, that the subpoena that Senator Johnson wants to issue for documents related to Burisma. Are you concerned about the appearance in any way? Romney: There's no question but that the appearance of looking into Burisma and Hunter Biden appears political, and I think people are tired of these kind of political investigations and I would hope if there's something of significance that needs to be evaluated that it would be done by perhaps the FBI or some other agency that's not as political as perhaps a committee of our body. We also have a lot of work to do on matters that are not related to Burisma. We probably ought to focus on those things. But, I'm going to get the chance today to talk to the chairman and get his perspective, see what information he has, and see whether there's something that might be helpful to clarify exactly what has happened in the past and put this behind us.
