Mitt Romney, among Donald Trump's biggest Republican critics, comes to his defense in New York case
Story by David Jackson, USA TODAY • Tuesday
WASHINGTON – Former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, one of Donald Trump's fiercest GOP critics, again criticized him as unfit for office Tuesday – but he also questioned the merit of the case that New York prosecutors filed against the former president.
“I believe President Trump’s character and conduct make him unfit for office," Romney said after the former president's arraignment. "Even so, I believe the New York prosecutor has stretched to reach felony criminal charges in order to fit a political agenda."
Romney, who voted to convict Trump after an impeachment trial on the insurrection of Jan. 6, 2021, began disputing Trump's qualifications before the latter's first Republican nomination for the presidency back in 2016.
