Congressman Biggs: "no pressure/quid pro quo over military aid"
Congressman Meadows: "Evidence continues to mount that zero conditions were attached to the aid for Ukraine. There was no quid pro quo."

Congressman Bacon: "there has been no evidence of 'quid pro quo'; no high crimes or misdemeanors."
Congressman Loudermilk: "when the truth comes out, and there is no evidence of quid-pro-quo or any wrongdoing, instead of dropping the investigation they want to keep investigating, hoping they find something."
