From The Washington Examiner:

“Zinke has been the target of a continuing Justice Department investigation into whether he used his position for personal gain.

Trump had earlier said he was not seeking to fire Zinke, but would continue to review the ongoing allegations against him.

Zinke continues to fight the allegations that he has been involved in any wrongdoing, saying he has cooperated with Interior’s inspector general over allegations he is involved in a real estate deal involving David Lesar, the chairman of oil services giant Halliburton.”
