Republican Congressman Will Hurd, a member of the House Intelligence committee, appeared on CBS’s “Face the Nation” this morning to discuss, among other things, the ongoing impeachment inquiry into President Trump.

Hurd signed a letter to Chairman Adam Schiff along with his Republican colleagues on Friday demanding more access to materials related to the committee’s investigation.

The Texas congressman told host Margaret Brennan he’s most concerned that committee members are not getting access to deposition transcripts and materials provided to the committee quickly enough, saying he received a transcript of Ambassador Kurt Volker’s testimony “a couple days ago” and has still not received all of the text messages Volker provided, even though Volker appeared before the committee on Oct. 3.

Brennan pointed out that, as a committee member, Hurd can sit in on all of the depositions. Hurd reiterated his concerns about information not being readily available to Republicans and that Democrats are able to have more staff present in the depositions than Republicans.

Hurd called the work of the committee “regular oversight hearings,” saying “this is also not an impeachment inquiry.” He complained that the committee is having to do this work instead of conducting other business,
