As the House holds its first vote Thursday to formalize the impeachment inquiry, GOP members are sticking with a messaging strategy that focuses primarily on criticizing the process — despite a push by Trump and some of his allies for a more direct defense
Those conflicting views are adding to the frustration from other Capitol Hill Republicans at the White House's unfocused effort to guide the party through impeachment.According to two senior aides on Capitol Hill, Republicans will continue to argue that House Democrats have conducted their impeachment inquiry into Trump's interactions with the Ukrainian government"behind closed doors" and without sufficient input from GOP members.
Mark Meadows of North Carolina, Jim Jordan of Ohio and Lee Zeldin of New York have held court with reporters as they walk in and out of the closed-door interviews conducted by the three committees handling the inquiry so far: Oversight, Foreign Affairs and Intelligence. But none of those three serve on Intelligence, denying them the platform to defend Trump in public hearings.
