Says Mitt Romney voted against convicting President Donald Trump because Burisma board member Joseph Cofer Black “is Romney’s national security advisor” and because of ties to Obama CIA director John Brennan.
Publisher’s rating: False
Related reporting directly contradicts the claim’s assertion that Mitt Romney voted against convicting Donald Trump. Its account of the Senate’s final vote says the result was 57–43 in favor of conviction, short of the two-thirds majority needed, and explicitly lists Romney among the seven Republican senators who voted to convict. Thus, the supplied evidence supports that Romney voted to convict, not against it. The excerpts do not establish why Romney voted as he did, or whether he cited Joseph Cofer Black, Burisma, or John Brennan. They therefore do not substantiate or assess the claim’s proposed explanation; the evidence-based contradiction here is specifically about how Romney voted.
