Thousands Show Up To Chaffetz Town Hall: 'Do Your Job!'

By CAITLIN MACNEAL Published FEBRUARY 10, 2017, 8:49 AM EDT

Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-UT) was confronted with hundreds of people at a town hall outside of Salt Lake City, Utah, on Thursday night, where the crowd jeered at the congressman and grilled him on investigating President Donald Trump.

The audience filled almost all of the 1,000 seats in the Brighton High School auditorium, and a crowd of about 1,500 people stood outside the event, according to the Salt Lake Tribune.

At one point during the town hall, members of the audience stood up and began to chant, "Do your job!"




The crowd also pushed for officials to let the more than 1,000 people outside into the town hall, chanting, "Let them in!"

Chaffetz, the chair of the House Oversight Committee, has declined to say whether he will probe Trump's conflicts of interest and told reporters this week that the conflict would have to "rise to a very high level" for him to do so.
