The Trump administration is so corrupt!
So ridiculous for Zinke to call the DOJ probe “politically driven,” but that’s the tone Trump has set. DOJ is going to have to find a way to assure the public politics won’t influence, maybe by appointing a special counsel or handing off to a respected US atty or senior AUSA. https://t.co/2g99f8hlhl

It was lost in Trump news a few weeks ago, but there was a half-hatched effort to install a new inspector general at Interior. That office has referred Zinke's behavior to DOJ. https://t.co/3nYE6WoP7s

Update: @SenBlumenthal @SenWarren @RonWyden have sent Zinke a letter, citing a recent IG report, asking him "“to immediately cease any efforts to use [your office] for personal gain and fully reimburse the public for your private use of public resources.” https://t.co/H9zkqY27s9
