His legacy as head of the Department of Interior was marked with controversy.
Trump announced his cannon firing on social media.
Secretary of the Interior @RyanZinke will be leaving the Administration at the end of the year after having served for a period of almost two years. Ryan has accomplished much during his tenure and I want to thank him for his service to our Nation.......— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 15, 2018
.......The Trump Administration will be announcing the new Secretary of the Interior next week.— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) December 15, 2018
The departure comes amid multiple ethics investigations into Zinke.
The Justice Department is investigating Zinke for possibly using his office for personal gain following a referral from the Interior Department's inspector general.
Zinke was loyal to the Trump agenda. He pulled back Barack Obama-era regulations and eliminated protected lands grants.
As Department of Interior Secretary, Zinke opened more federal lands to oil, gas and mineral exploration and extraction. He was getting paid really well from the lobbyists. He also rollback regulations that made trophy hunting legal.
Donald Trump, Jr. and Eric Trump love him.
Many hunters were going overseas to poach and kill endangered species for thrills. Thank Ryan Zinke for allowing it to happen.
Zinke is the latest of many controversial picks forced out by scandal.
The White House did not immediately respond to the junk food media. The announcement comes a day after Trump picked White House Budget Director Mick Mulvaney as his temporary chief of staff.
Ryan Zinke was no friend to nature. |
Zinke before was a Montana state lawmaker, a radio talk show host, U.S. Navy Seal and college football player. He is also an Eagle Scout for the Scouts of America.
He is a kookspiracy nut and racist.
Zinke was a U.S. Representative from Montana for one term. He won reelection and immediately left when Trump appointed him as the Interior Secretary. He was succeeded by Greg Gianforte, a controversial activist and businessman who attacked a journalist last year.
