Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) said he doesn’t support the Senate Homeland Security Committee’s investigation of Hunter Biden’s activities on the board of the Ukrainian energy firm Burisma Holdings.

The panel authorized on Sept. 16 a number of subpoenas and testimony from former Obama administration officials, including former FBI Director James Comey, former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper, and former CIA Director John Brennan as part of their investigation into the Russia probe. They’re also looking into a possible conflict of interest between Hunter Biden, who sat on the board of Burisma while his father, Joe Biden, was vice president, and the Ukrainian energy company, which has long been accused of corruption.
