Jason Chaffetz Asks Justice Department To Investigate Comey Firing
A prominent Republican just asked Department of Justice to investigate Comey firing.
In a sign that Donald Trump is in bigger trouble that he thinks, the Republican Congressman in charge of House Oversight just asked the Justice Department to expand their investigation into the firing of former FBI Director James Comey.
“Previously I asked Inspector General Horowitz to review the FBI’s actions in advance of the 2016 election,” Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) said in a statement Wednesday.
“Today I sent a letter urging [Inspector General] Horowitz to expand the scope of his review to include the decision to fire Director Comey. I look forward to receiving the IG’s findings.”
