Chaffetz won't run for reelection [View all]

Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) will not seek reelection in 2018, he announced in a Facebook post Wednesday morning.

Chaffetz, the House Oversight Committee chairman, played a key role in investigating Hillary Clinton during the presidential campaign.
But he has resisted probing President Trump over the potential for him to profit from the presidency, noting that Trump is “already rich.”
