Summary

Former Chair of the House Oversight Committee Jason Chaffetz knows a lot about conducting political investigations and how Washington works. So when the former Republican Utah congressman recently joined the Rundown, host Dave Anthony had to get his take on the Hunter Biden investigation and why the Republicans are unhappy with how the FBI has been handling the probe in to the President's son. Chaffetz explained why he's troubled by the allegations being made against Hunter and the Biden family, including the President. The FOX News Contributor also agreed with current Republicans in the House who feel the FBI has been slow walking their inquiry. The host of the "Jason in the House" podcast discussed the importance of more transparency in Washington, and the topics he touches on in his new book, "The Puppeteers," including why he thinks unelected Washington bureaucrats have too much power and are not serving the will of the people. Due to time limitations, we could not include the entire conversation in the FOX News Rundown segment that ran this week. On the FOX News Rundown Extra, you will hear our entire unedited interview with Jason Chaffetz and hear more about his concerns with Washington, why its failing voters, and how he thinks it we can fix it.
