Sen. Chafettz takes emergency leave due to medical issue

House Oversight Chairman Jason Chafettz (R-UT) announced on that he would be taking an immediate medical leave of absence for as long as a month as ordered by doctors.

“Almost 12 years ago, I shattered several bones in my foot which required 14 screws and a metal plate to repair. Yes, I wish I could say I was cliff diving in Mexico but the truth is I fell off a ladder while repairing something in my garage. The University of Utah doctors now recommend immediate surgery to remove all the hardware or I could be at risk for serious infection,” Chaffetz wrote in the Instagram post which was accompanied by an x-ray image of his foot and the aforementioned hardware.
