In contentious interviews with CNN's Manu Raju, two House Republicans struggled to defend President Trump when pressed about whether it was okay for him to ask a foreign country to investigate the Bidens.
Rep. Mark Amodei, who at first publicly supported impeachment before walking the announcement back, repeatedly refused to answer questions about the substance of Trump's now-infamous July 25 call with the Ukrainian president.
Rep. Rodney Davis, whose seat is vulnerable in 2020, also sidestepped questions about the substance of the whistleblower allegation.
Davis told CNN that there is "no dispute" Trump asked the Ukrainian President to investigate the 2016 election, adding, "I thought we all were supposed to investigate what happened in the 2016 election."
But when pressed further, Davis again dodged questions about Trump calling for Ukraine to investigate the Bidens.
"Let's actually see what the witnesses are saying," Davis said. "Let's hear from everybody, not selective leaks that the Democrats want us to put out."
Asked about the House resolution House Speaker Pelosi announced today that would set out ground rules for the impeachment probe, both Republicans said that they would take a look. Davis, however, added that he "can't imagine" voting for what he described as "the sham process that they have put in place already."
