GOP chairman who targeted Clinton in no rush on Trump

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Republican chairman of the House Oversight Committee, who promised before the election to investigate Democrat Hillary Clinton for years, says he will wait until President-elect Donald Trump takes office before "poking around" the businessman's financial affairs and possible conflicts of interest.
While Rep. Jason Chaffetz is holding off on Trump, the four-term Utah lawmaker pledges to continue investigating Clinton's use of a private email server while she was secretary of state.
"There are some outstanding issues floating out there that will still take some time," Chaffetz said in an interview Thursday.
Chaffetz said it's only fair to wait until Trump becomes president before looking at potential conflicts involving his global business empire.
Democrats have called for investigations into Trump's financial ties with foreign businesses and governments, as well as his lease with the U.S. government for a luxury hotel near the White House.
