Lyin’ Ryan Zinke repeatedly violated ethics rules, misused his official position, and lied to ethics officials as Trump’s Interior Secretary, a bombshell report revealed today.
The Interior Department’s Inspector General found that Zinke “failed to abide by his ethics obligations” and “misused his public office for private gain” by negotiating a real estate deal in his hometown of Whitefish, MT as interior secretary.
Zinke was also caught repeatedly lying to ethics officials, who found him to have “knowingly provided materially incorrect, incomplete, and misleading answers” over the course of the investigation.
This was just “one of at least 15 inquiries” into Zinke’s alleged misconduct during the two short years he served in Trump’s cabinet.

“Lyin’ Ryan Zinke used his official office to swindle Montanans and line his own pockets, and then lied to cover his tracks. Zinke is as swampy as they come, and it’s going to cost him at the ballot box in 2022.”
