Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) expressed serious concern Wednesday over the claim by the House select Jan. 6 committee that former President Trump attempted to call one of the committee’s witnesses, who had not yet appeared in its public hearings.

Romney called the allegation “very serious” and dismissed speculation that Trump may have pocket-dialed the witness by accident.

“I can’t imagine why he’d have a witness on his cellphone, making a pocket-dial, so that’s not terribly credible. If in fact he was calling a witness, that allegation is very serious,” he said.
