Ex-Trump Officials Ryan Zinke & Corey Lewandowski Join D.C. Lobbying Firm
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

In news from Washington, Ryan Zinke has joined the lobbying firm
Turnberry Solutions, just weeks after stepping down as interior
secretary. He becomes the first former Trump Cabinet official to join a
lobbying firm. Shortly after taking office, President Trump signed an
executive order that purported to ban White House officials from
lobbying for five years. But according to Pro Publica, at least 33
former Trump officials have managed to sidestep the ethics pledge.
Trump's former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski is also joining
Turnberry Solutions.
