PHOENIX – The first public hearing of the House impeachment inquiry into President Donald Trump's phone call to the Ukraine was historic, yes, but two U.S. representatives from Arizona were not impressed.

Arizona's Capitol Hill delegation wants to rename a Department of Veterans Affairs clinic in Gilbert after U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Alexander Conrad, who was killed in action last year.
Conrad, a 26-year-old Chandler resident who had been twice deployed to Afghanistan, was killed in a June 8, 2018, firefight with al-Qaida-aligned al Shabaab militants in Somalia. He was a posthumous recipient of the Purple Heart, Bronze Star with Valor and Meritorious Service Medal.
WASHINGTON—The House Freedom Caucus rose to prominence as a rebellious band of about three dozen Republican lawmakers willing to buck their party establishment to tank legislation—or even topple House speakers—they deemed insufficiently conservative.
