Republican Utah Sen. Mitt Romney announced Friday that he will vote to hear from additional witnesses in the senate impeachment trial of President Donald Trump.
Romney had previously indicated that he wanted to hear from witnesses, including former National Security Adviser John Bolton, and his communications director Liz Johnson officially confirmed the senator’s intentions in a tweet Friday.

Romney is the second Republican senator to come out in favor of calling witnesses, alongside Maine Republican Senator Susan Collins. The senate is expected to vote Friday on whether or not to hear additional witnesses. ABC News reported Thursday that Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell believes he has the votes to defeat witnesses.
If the senate does not vote to hear from additional witnesses, the president is expected to be acquitted as early as Friday night.
