Washington (CNN) Nevada Republican Rep. Mark Amodei said Friday he supports the process playing out in the formal impeachment inquiry into Donald Trump, but said he does not support impeaching the President.

Amodei is the first House Republican to publicly show support for the inquiry since House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's announcement of the probe this week.

"Let's put it through the process and see what happens," Amodei said on a call with reporters, according to audio posted by The Nevada Independent.

"In no way, shape, or form, did I indicate support for impeachment," Amodei clarified in a later statement. Michigan Rep. Justin Amash was the only House Republican to publicly argue that Trump has engaged in impeachable conduct before announcing this summer he was leaving the Republican Party.

Amodei said on the call that at this time he does not believe Trump pushing Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter, is an impeachable offense.
