Amodei expressed concern over Trump’s call with Ukraine, telling reporters on a call Friday that the House should “put it through the process and see what happens,” according to the audio of the call released by The Nevada Independent.

He later issued a statement after the story was published saying, “In no way, shape, or form, did I indicate support for impeachment.” ADVERTISEMENT

Amodei stands by his call for an oversight process, which he and his office are trying to defend as different than the House’s impeachment inquiry.

Amodei spokesman Logan Tucker told The Washington Post the difference between an oversight process and supporting “Pelosi’s inquiry” is that “then you stand with the 223 Democrats who have made clear that if we were to vote right this second today to impeach Trump, they would vote yes before any sort of process has transpired."

"Again, prior to any such process playing out, the congressman does not support impeachment in any way, shape or form," Tucker told the Post.

But the overwhelming majority of House Democrats have said they support an impeachment inquiry, not the impeachment of Trump ahead of investigating the allegations.

Just 28 Democrats said they would impeach the president right now, the Post reports.
