In response to a claim that President Donald Trump told two Russian officials former Federal Bureau of Investigation director James Comey was putting pressure on him, a leading House Democrat wants to see records of the conversation.

A top Utah state lawmaker says that U.S. Rep. Jason Chaffetz is expected to leave office by the end of June.

Rep. Jason Chaffetz will announce Thursday that he will resign from Congress next month, Politico reported. Chaffetz tweeted that the House oversight panel will see Comey's memo "if it exists".

Chaffetz has announced in a letter to his constituents on his congressional website that he is resigning from his seat effective June 30, according to KSL-TV.

The Utah Republican had said he meant to leave sometime during this term, but the abrupt departure is yet another step in the on-again, off-again dance between GOP-led congressional oversight committees and the Republican president.

An early favorite for the post emerged Thursday: Rep. Trey Gowdy, R-S.C., who led the contentious House investigation into the 2012 terrorist attacks on a US outpost in Benghazi, Libya - though it was unclear whether Gowdy would accept the job.

Thursday, Mr. Gowdy released a statement saying he was talking to other members about the Chairmanship.

In a SkySports report, Wenger is quoted as saying: "No, it's Tuesday night against Sunderland". "It's all clear. The post Jurgen Klopp Talks About Liverpool's Champions League Chances appeared first on 360Nobs.com.

Trump has long complicated Chaffetz's life. He rescinded his endorsement of Trump previous year after recordings surfaced of the reality show star bragging about groping women, only to hastily re-endorse Trump shortly before the FBI announced it was reviving its investigation into Clinton's emails.

Chaffetz added that he would prefer that Trump had confronted the Russians over their interference with the election.

After Trump won, liberals hammered him for not going after Trump's administration with almost the vigor used against Democrats.

Chaffetz said last month he wouldn't run for re-election. But he did not provide a date for his departure until Thursday.

The former kicker for the Mormon-owned Brigham Young University football team was first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives in 2008.

With several investigations still ongoing, Chaffetz said he was not anxious about other Republican members of the committee continuing his work.

He has not ruled out running for another office, such as Utah governor.

Antonio Conte determined to keep pushing forward after stellar first Chelsea season

One player who is a serial victor , but who will definitely not be a part of the title defence, is captain John Terry . Terry has played 716 times for Chelsea and won 15 major trophies since he joined the club when he was 14 in 1995.

Chaffetz became a campaign manager and chief of staff to former Utah Gov. Jon Huntsman, Jr. but they had a falling out in 2012 when Chaffetz endorsed Mitt Romney for president over Huntsman.

"I kind of had a little bit of a midlife crisis".

Asked on ABC's "This Week" to respond to a report that Trump told Russian officials Comey was a "nut job", Chaffetz said, "Well, I hope that's not true". "And there are a lot of good, quality people who can do this job".

U.S. Rep. Jason Chaffetz speaks with reporters at his home Thursday, May 18, 2017, in Alpine, Utah.

The Utah Republican, who had just started his fifth term in Congress, used his post as chairman of the Oversight Committee to doggedly investigate Hillary Clinton before the 2016 presidential election and raise his political profile.

"Trey is more than qualified to be the next chairman of Oversight", Rep. Tom Graves (R., Ga.) said.
