The U.S. House held the first open hearings of the impeachment inquiry this week, but members of the Oklahoma delegation were wary of the approaching budget deadline that would appropriate federal funds for the 2020 fiscal year.

On Wednesday, the House Intel ligence Committee heard testimonies from the top U.S. diplomat in Ukraine, William B. Taylor Jr., and Deputy Assistant Secretary for European and Eurasian Affairs George Kent.

While both Democratic and Rep ublican members of the committee asked questions largely along partisan lines, both witnesses were less eager to take a side.

Following Wednesday’s hearing, Republican representatives from Oklahoma released statements regarding the testimony.

“In my view, the hearing didn’t reveal anything that rises to the level of an impeachable offense. Moreover, neither witness had direct knowledge of President Trump’s call with President Zelensky,” Rep. Tom Cole, R-Okla., said in a statement. “But we still know that both leaders said there was no pressure and that Ukraine received the military aid without any required action. At this point, I remain more concerned about the unfair and unprecedented process by which House Democrats continue to pursue impeachment.”

Similarly, both Republican Reps. Frank Lucas and Rep. Markwayne Mullin expressed discontent with the impeachment process.

“After the hearing, the congressman believes nothing was revealed that rises to the level of an impeachable offense,” Patrick Bond, communications director for Lucas, said. “The congressman remains concerned about the unfair process by which House Democrats continue to pursue this partisan impeachment.”
