I was looking for a link to this story and found Jonathon Turley had already made the same point I was going to make:

Yesterday, Sen. Mitt Romney (R-UT) had a much covered interaction with CNN’s Manu Raju who asked him about Trump’s criminal trial and whether he was guilty of the underlying criminal conduct. Romney responded “I think everybody has made their own assessment of President Trump’s character, and so far as I know you don’t pay someone $130,000 not to have sex with you.” https://jonathanturley.org/2024/04/24/romney-and-the-wrong-question-the-senators-statement-on-trumps-guilt-captures-the-problem-with-the-manhattan-trial/First I was going to say, Hey Mitt, this is a CRIMINAL trial, how about a little innocent until proven guilty in this country if you don't mind.
Secondly, what happened between the two people privately DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE ISSUES ON TRIAL.
And thirdly Mitt, just s.t.f.u. Why don't you go run Harvard, or Columbia. I heard they need your help.
But Mitt took the opportunity as he does, with every microphone, with every camera running, what can I do to hurt Trump. F.u. Mitt. The Obama era went to 8 years, now 12, because of you Mitt. Debt at 35 trillion. That's on you. The wars, all of it, that's on you. You had a chance to stop the madness at 4 years and you failed, Mitt. Trump wouldn't have happened if Republicans had won the previous, and neither would Biden.
The year we picked the wrong guy was 2012.
Trump is the only person in the world left who can stand up to the march to Leftism that Mitt fears so little. The guy in Argentina can't do it alone.
