DescriptionA new report from the Interior Department's inspector general has found that former Secretary Ryan Zinke, who served under President Trump, broke ethics rules while leading the department.

The Interior Department’s inspector general said in a new report that Zinke “failed to abide by his ethics obligations” and “misused his public office for private gain.”

The report says that the IG had referred the case to the Justice Department last summer, but that DOJ, under the Biden administration, had declined to prosecute a case against Zinke, who is now running for a U.S. House seat in Montana.
