"BREAKING: The 'extreme conservative' and Junior Senator from the great state of Utah, @SenatorRomney is formally NOT invited to #CPAC2020," Chairman Matt Schlapp tweeted Friday. Romney, who was the Republican Party's 2012 presidential nominee against Barack Obama, was one of two Republican senators who split from their party in voting to hear more testimony about the president's conduct with Ukraine, along with Susan Collins of Maine. They voted to seek witnesses generally, and particularly to hear from Trump's former national security adviser, John Bolton, whose testimony was expected to contradict Trump's defense.
Trump was impeached by the House on charges of abusing his power by pressuring Ukraine to investigate a political rival and obstructing Congress by not cooperating with its inquiry. He is expected to be acquitted in the Republican-majority Senate next week.The annual conservative conference has become a major gathering for the president's supporters in recent years, and Trump has been featured as a main speaker the past three years.
