Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) is expected to announce Thursday that he is resigning before the end of this congressional term, according to three sources familiar with his plans.
Chaffetz did not respond to a request for comment Wednesday evening or Thursday morning. Multiple sources say he will leave Congress on June 30.
Chaffetz, 50, is chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, the top investigative body in the chamber. He recently subpoenaed James Comey's memos, and invited the fired FBI director to testify next week before his panel.
Chaffetz told POLITICO last month he had begun exploring employment outside Congress. Several sources in the Capitol say Chaffetz has told his colleagues he will appear on Fox News.

Just think, that Ryan and him sent Nunes to the White House to provide cover and more BS, it just doesn't smell right

Never be anything but a partisan hack though, unable to broaden appeal
which is probably not required in Utah

(22,670 posts)Very questionable circumstances if you ask me. Is there a connection or does he just not want to be part of the history of corrupt politicians who were part of the GOP's treasonous "family."
Republican leadership in the House privately discussed Russia's involvement in the 2016 election and Trump's relationship to Putin
