After relinquishing the House Oversight Committee gavel this month, Rep. Jason ChaffetzJason ChaffetzChaffetz: Trump administration 'almost worse' than Obama's on transparency Utah GOP narrows field for Chaffetz seat Gowdy: Mueller a 'quintessential straight arrow' MORE (R-Utah) said he thinks the Trump administration isn’t any better about government transparency than the Obama administration.

In an interview with Sinclair Broadcast Group that aired over the weekend, Chaffetz said he’s been disappointed that federal agencies under Trump haven’t been more forthcoming with congressional oversight requests.

“The reality is, sadly, I don't see much difference between the Trump administration and the Obama administration. I thought there would be this, these floodgates would open up with all the documents we wanted from the Department of State, the Department of Justice, the Pentagon,” Chaffetz said. 

“In many ways, it's almost worse because we're getting nothing, and that's terribly frustrating and, with all due respect, the attorney general has not changed at all. I find him to be worse than what I saw with [former Attorney General] Loretta Lynch in terms of releasing documents and making things available. I just, that's my experience, and that's not what I expected,” he said.

Chaffetz is resigning from Congress at the end of this month.
