CHAFFETZ: No, that’s speculative. I mean, Donald Trump hasn’t even been sworn in yet. And so I do believe that he has set up a plan where the revenue or the profits that are coming to the hotel will be given directly to the Treasury. But I’m not going to go on this fishing expedition that they want me to, that the Democrats want me to, the president has a duty and obligation to comply with the law. But again he’s exempt from almost all of these things.

Now, the emoluments clause, he’s going to have to look at and we’ll see how that rolls out.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, yeah, and the ranking Democrats of several different committees, 21 different committees have petitioned the speaker to request documents detailing the president-elect’s business dealings around the world to get at this question, including possible loans and investments from Russians Will you request that information?

CHAFFETZ: No. I have no plans to do that at this point.

What you need to look at is what is required by law, which I believe that Donald Trump has complied with, that is — because I have heard no complaints about this — and that is the financial disclosures that is what’s required by law, that’s Donald Trump…

STEPHANOPOULOS: Isn’t the emoluments provision of the constitution the law of the land?

CHAFFETZ: Yeah. It’s in the constitution. The president-elect hasn’t even been sworn in yet. So, all this flailing about how he’s done everything wrong it’s a little premature at best.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Five days from now, he will be the president of the United States. At that point, will you be requesting this information?

CHAFFETZ: No, not necessarily. Look, I’m not just going to go on these fishing expeditions. I didn’t do that with President Obama. We didn’t go through this with President Obama. I think the world and certainly the American voters understand that Donald Trump has mass holdings. He’s worth billions of dollars. He’s been very successful in business. And I think the American voters understood that when they voted him in.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I think a lot of Democrats might disagree with your characterization of President Obama and the investigations of Hillary Clinton and her email server and of course Benghazi as well, but on this particular issue, there is another issue…

CHAFFETZ: But those were about specific policies and actions once they were in office. I didn’t investigate Hillary Clinton before she was in office [Note: He did threaten to before she was even elected], I started investigated Hillary Clinton’s actions after the inspector-general said that there was classified information housed in a non-classified setting, that’s what…

STEPHANOPOULOS: Well, I took your point on that at the beginning of the investigation now, but I asked you if you were going to be looking at these issues at once president-elect is actually president of the United States.

CHAFFETZ: If people have questions about this, the White House is going to be the one that has to answer those questions. Until we see something that is actually wrongdoing, we’re probably not going to go on a fishing trip to go see look at — we’re just not going to do that, that’s not what we do in this committee.
