Key Lawmaker Says Clinton Investigation Will Continue

January 9, 2017 at 4:08 pm EST By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

House Oversight Committee chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) told BuzzFeed he will continue the investigation into Hillary Clinton’s email use at the State Department.

Said Chaffetz: “This was never a political targeting from the beginning. Just because there’s a political election doesn’t mean it goes away. So of course I’m going to continue to pursue that.”
