No talk of oversight between Trump, Chaffetz - DC Motel off Limits?
Donald Trump and House Oversight Chairman Jason Chaffetz on Tuesday talked about repealing the Bears Ears Monument, the Antiquities Act, embassy security and postal reform.
What they didn’t discuss was congressional oversight of the president.
“Before my bum even hit the chair, the president said, ‘No oversight. You can’t talk about anything that has to do with oversight,’” Chaffetz, a Utah Republican, told reporters after his half-hour-long Oval Office meeting with Trump.
It was a strange opening remark given that Trump critics have been hounding the Oversight and Government Reform Committee chairman to launch several conflict-of-interest investigations into the new president.
The rare meeting, also attended by White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, was characterized as more of a meet-and-greet with Trump, who sat behind the Resolute desk.
