'The Deep State': Jason Chaffetz says 'it's real' in new book [View all]
SALT LAKE CITY — Don't look for references in Jason Chaffetz's new book, "The Deep State," to the mysterious "Q," a supposed federal government official behind internet conspiracy theories aimed at bolstering President Donald Trump.

The "Q" signs and T-shirts that surfaced at Trump campaign rallies this summer express support for often extreme theories spread online that are tied to what's seen as a plot headed by the president to take down their version of the deep state.
