Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah), the chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, is concerned that the Department of Education could be ripe for the kind of data breach that hit the Office of Personnel Management.

At a Feb. 2 committee hearing, the Education Department largely closed ranks around Harris, as lawmakers called for him to be punished or even fired.
