The odd saga of Rep. Jason Chaffetz continues.
After suddenly announcing he would not seek re-election, House Oversight Committee Chairman Jason Chaffetz then indicated he may not complete his current term.
Wednesday, Chaffetz posted an x-ray of his foot on Instagram saying he needed immediate surgery because he “could be at risk for serious infection” due to a previous energy.
Truthers are everywhere and most comments suggested the x-rays were fake.
The timing of Chaffetz’s sudden absence immediately following a bombshell announcement has led many hill-watchers to speculate there may be more to the story.
But, as The Hill reports, Chaffetz had surgery on his foot and is recovering nicely.
