Internal Probe Faults Zinke for Travels with Wife

Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke “sought to skirt or alter department policies to justify his taxpayer-funded trips with his wife, the agency’s inspector general said in the latest critical report on travel practices by President Trump’s Cabinet members,” Politico reports.

“Zinke’s maneuvers included pressing Interior staffers to research whether his wife, Lola, could become a volunteer at the agency, a move the employees said was designed to enable her to travel with him at taxpayer expense.”
