Former Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke Faces Criminal Inquiry
-----------------------------------------------------------

Back in the United States, The Washington Post reports that recently
departed Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke faces a Justice Department
criminal probe into whether he lied to his agency's inspectors general.
The alleged lies came as Zinke faced inquiries into his role in
reviewing a proposed casino project in Connecticut and over real estate
dealings in Montana. Zinke is also the subject of more than a dozen
other federal ethics investigations.
