Jason Chaffetz: Our House committee will continue its investigation into Hillary Clinton's email use

“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,” Chaffetz said.

He said it remained a priority for the committee, though he noted, “I’ve got a lot of top priorities.”

“It’s potentially one of the largest breaches of security in the history of the State Department. It cannot and should never be repeated again. How was it that so much information was able to migrate out the door? These are still open questions that we need to finish up so they don’t happen again.”

Chaffetz said his committee would also work to hold the Trump administration accountable for potential conflicts of interest.
