House Oversight Chair (Chaffetz): I'm Not Gonna Investigate Trump's Voter Fraud Claims
By LAUREN FOX Published JANUARY 25, 2017, 6:19 PM EDT
PHILADELPHIA House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) says he sees "no evidence" that millions of undocumented immigrants voted in the 2016 election that and his committee won't be using taxpayer dollars to investigate President Donald Trump's allegation.
Chaffetz told reporters at the congressional GOP retreat Wednesday in Philadelphia that if Trump wants an investigation, he can get the Department of Justice to look into it. He's not interested.
"On the voter fraud issue that really happens at the county level. I don't see any evidence, but the President has 100,000 people at the Department of Justice that if he wants to do an investigation, have at it. I just don't see any evidence of it," Chaffetz said.
When asked if he thought it might be a waste of time or taxpayer dollars, Chaffetz said, "That's why I'm saying the Oversight Committee is not planning to do anything with it."
