Chairman of Trump Re-election Campaign in Nevada is First GOP Congressman to Support Impeachment Inquiry<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/figure>\n

Rep. Mark Amodei (R-NV), the chairman of Trump\u2019s Nevada re-election campaign, is the first GOP congressman to support the House impeachment inquiry.<\/p>\n

The NYT reports<\/a>: \u2018He said it made sense for Congress to investigate a whistle-blower\u2019s complaint, made public on Thursday, that Mr. Trump used a July 25 phone call<\/a> with Ukraine\u2019s president to advance his personal interests, including asking him to look into unsubstantiated allegations of corruption against former Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. and his younger son. Mr. Amodei discussed the impeachment inquiry process during a\u00a0conference call on Friday with members of the news media from his home state<\/a>, and in a follow-up statement issued by his office.\u2019<\/p>\n

Said Amodei<\/a>: \u201cLet\u2019s put it through the process and see what happens. I\u2019m a big fan of oversight, so let\u2019s let the committees get to work and see where it goes. Using government agencies to, if it\u2019s proven, to put your finger on the scale of an election, I don\u2019t think that\u2019s right. If it turns out that it\u2019s something along those lines, then there\u2019s a problem.\u201d<\/p>\n

Amodei later released a statement clarifying his position<\/a>, saying he is withholding judgment on whether Trump has crossed a line.<\/p>\n
