WaPo: Federal watchdog opens probe into travel by Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke


The inspector general for the Interior Department has opened an investigation into Secretary Ryan Zinke’s travel during seven months in office, from his use of taxpayer-funded charter and military planes to his mixing of official trips with political appearances.

Nancy K. DiPaolo, a spokesperson for Deputy Inspector General Mary Kendall, described a broad investigation into Zinke’s “travel in general,” including “modes of travel, costs and schedules.”

“It’s not just one trip,” she said. “It’s seven months of travel.” She said the probe was prompted by numerous complaints from the public and in recent newspaper articles. Reps. Raúl M. Grijalva (Ariz.) and A. Donald McEachin (Va.), the top Democrats, respectively, on the House Committee on Natural Resources and the panel’s subcommittee on oversight and investigations, also requested an investigation.

BTW, I was born in Montana and I have lots of family that live all over Montana. I know a lot of people in and from Montana. I can honestly say they're truly good folk and I'm proud to associate with them. NONE of the people I know would EVER behave like this scumbag.

investigation begins. Good job, people. Mary Kendall has decades of experience and was appointed to this position by President Obama.

Once again, Repubs are no doubt tearing their hair over Rump's failure to pack these offices with corrupt agents.

The Montana congress critter who lived in Santa Barbara, maybe investigate his travel as a congress critter too. Did he travel home to Santa Barbara a lot instead of to his district in Montana?
