Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke tried to play the system and alter department policies so his wife Lolita could join him on taxpayer-funded trips, the agency’s Inspector General’s office found in a report.

The maneuvers included asking Interior staffers to look into whether Lolita — who goes by Lola — could become a volunteer at the agency, so she could snag “free trips,” according to the report, obtained by Politico and The Washington Post.

Interior also shelled out $25,000 to send an unarmed security detail with the couple on their vacation to Turkey and Greece last summer– a decision made by a US Park Police supervisor who worried about the pair’s safety, according to the report.

The report also found that Zinke often had his wife ride in federal vehicles with him, which violated the agency’s policy — until Zinke changed it this summer so family members could ride with him, The Washington Post said.

This is the latest report critical of travel practices by President Trump’s Cabinet members.

Zinke defended bringing his family with him on travel saying ethics officials had cleared the move.

The Interior Department also came under fire in March when it was revealed they were shelling out $139,000 on new doors for Zinke’s office.

Zinke, who took office in March 2017, spent $53,000 on three helicopter trips last year, including one that allowed him to go on a horseback ride with Vice President Mike Pence.
