Rep. Trey Gowdy, the new chair of the House Oversight Committee, is keen on keeping a distance from President Trump due to the ongoing investigations into Russian interference in the 2016 election and potential ties to the Trump campaign and is a fan of the man running the federal probe.

During an interview with the Wall Street Journal this week, Gowdy, R-S.C., said that given his involvement in committees running exploring issues involving the president that it would be “better for everyone involved” if he kept his distance from Trump.
