WASHINGTON, D.C. — Sen. Mitt Romney said Tuesday that it was Russia – not Ukraine – that interfered in the 2016 presidential election, The Salt Lake Tribune reports.
Romney’s statement breaks with President Donald Trump and a number of fellow Republicans who contend that Ukraine may have also tried to meddle in the results.
