Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) is reportedly telling House Republicans he is planning to take on a role on Fox News.
The Utah Republican, who announced in April he would not seek reelection in 2018, may have plans to take on a "substantial role" on air at Fox News, Washingtonian reported.
The report cited two GOP lawmakers and four senior House Republican aides who have knowledge of Chaffetz's plans.
The role could start as early as July, according to the publication.
Lets just say that when Jason told us he was headed to Fox, no one was surprised, one senior House Republican aide said.
A House Republican member close to Chaffetz said he was "gunning for it."
"Fox was his first choice once he announced his plans," the House Republican member said.

They gave me the 7pm slot.
Money was too good. Sorry but since the sons are in charge now i’ll be spouting leftist garbage :)
Rocky Mountain West. Trump’s worst time zone. Little Abby Huntsman and now Chavets.
I really liked the guy then all of a sudden he gave me no reason to like him. So tell me: what its it with him?
Abby is good in the morning, but Jason is a WEAK KNEED GIRL!!
And he'll be about as effective in improving things, too. Which is to say, not at all.
I hope Utah has enough sense to replace him with a real fighter and not a toothless tiger.
Chaffetz is a cream puff. I may be wrong, but I’m less than excited about this news.
John Kasich wannabe.....
Chaffetz is not inspire, will have little success on TV, likely will just join the has-beens trying to make a buck off their previous role. In Congress, my opinion is that he’s been a non-starter failure. Talk and not action and definitely little success or follow-through. Hopefully Utah can replace him with someone more results-driven.
Poison on TV.
Fox greasing the skids to get Never-Trumper Egg McMuffin into Congress?
Good Fox News will sink further.

In the beginning, he was well liked here as well. Just as was Trey Gowdy. Then it was found the two are all hat and no cowboy, the music died.
The libs are starting to get excited at the prospect of FOX News losing the cable news battle. The reality (whenever that time comes) will be more like the enemy conquering a town only to find out the residents have all fled.
Fox’s last Stand in conservative America...the Rocky Mountain West.
Mormons love access to Wall Street and white shoe law firms. But Mormons are the new Methodists...two generations and you won’t recognize them.
Chaffetz: Just another ‘RAT ROMNEY NEVER TRUMPER’...
He’s California born and raised. A transplant to Utah. Something of a RINO. Not to be trusted.
