The congressman-turned-Fox News contributor is a "total phony," the former House speaker says.
The ex-lawmaker claims he wants to "help those in need help themselves."

The Utah congressman, who led the the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, has officially stepped down. While in office, the politician hounded Hillary Clinton, pursued Planned Parenthood and even suggested that health care costs roughly as much as an iPhone.

The outgoing congressman will start as a contributor for the network on July 1.
Most House and Senate members make $174,000 a year.
