Chaffetz hopes Trump didn't call Comey 'nut job' to Russians
Source: ABC News
House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz, who is leading one of the congressional investigations of Russias election interference and its possible ties to the Trump campaign, said he's concerned by a report in The New York Times that President Trump called fired FBI Director James Comey a nut job at a meeting with Russian government officials.
I hope thats not true, I dont know if thats what was said or not, the Utah Republican told ABC News Chief Anchor George Stephanopoulos of the report about the president's May 10 meeting.
Chaffetz added that he would prefer that Trump had confronted the Russians over their interference with the election. You would like the president to beat them over the head over that, he said on "This Week" Sunday.
The House Oversight Committee needs to see transcripts of all relevant conversations about the Russia investigation, Chaffetz said, referring to any written accounts of the Oval Office meeting with the Russians and Comeys reported detailed memos of his own interactions with the president.

Chaffetz is making a last minute effort to pretend that he is not a Trump stooge as he heads out of the House.
