Fox News on Wednesday announced that House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) will join the network as a contributor after resigning from Congress at the end of the month.

“In this role he will offer political analysis across FNC and FOX Business Network’s (FBN) daytime and primetime programming,” Fox News said in a release.

Chaffetz will begin at Fox on July 1, a day after stepping down from his job in Congress.

In April, Chaffetz announced that he would not seek another term in Congress, and later announced his plans to resign before the end of his term.

  1. I guess he’ll be doing this from his home in Provo, right? After all, the reason he offered for resigning from Congress is that he misses his family and can’t afford a home in Utah as well as one in DC.

    Or could he have simply been lying to us? Quelle horreur!

    Made-up leg injuries can be brutal. Just ask Keyser Söze.

    So I guess he won’t be requesting that $2,500 per month congressional housing allowance, right?
