Mitt Romney reportedly told NBC reporter Trump “should make available the whistleblower complaint that has been deemed to be credible and urgent. I think it’d be very helpful to get the bottom of the facts. If they don’t, it will be up to the House to decide how to proceed.”

I think one reasonable way to read this is that Romney is saying the House is justified in proceeding to impeachment if the president refuses to provide Congress information.

Axios reports Sen. Mitt Romney (R-Utah) told NBC News’ Geoff Bennett on Monday that the Trump administration should make the whistleblower complaint that reportedly involves the president and Ukraine available to Congress, adding that it would be “very helpful to get [to] the bottom of the facts.”
The big picture: Romney continues to be the only Republican senator to condemn allegations that Trump pressured Ukraine’s president to investigate Joe Biden, tweeting on Sunday that the reports are “troubling in the extreme.” Romney told NBC that it would be “up to the House to decide how to proceed” if the administration fails to release the whistleblower complaint.
