Former U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft endorsed Mitt Romney’s presidential campaign Monday morning, according to a campaign release. “It is an honor to have the support of Attorney General Ashcroft,” Romney said in a statement. “After working with him on the 2002 Winter Olympics, I know that he is deeply committed to serving our country and protecting its citizens and I look forward to his counsel over the coming months.”
Ashcroft served as attorney general in President George W. Bush’s administration.
