WASHINGTON (AP) — Records show the Interior Department spent nearly $139,000 last year for construction at the agency that was labeled on a work order as “Secretary’s Door.”
A spokeswoman for Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke did not provide answers Thursday to questions about whether changes had been made to a door in the secretary’s office.
Records show the Maryland contractor that performed the work, Conquest Solutions LLC, has done several renovation projects at federal buildings. A man who answered the phone at the company Thursday hung up when a reporter asked about Zinke’s office.
Zinke is one of several Trump Cabinet officials under scrutiny for questionable spending. He spent $53,000 on three helicopter trips last year, including one to go on a horseback ride with Vice President Mike Pence.
He’s the Secretary of Interior Decoration, man! You can’t expect him to suffer with looking at an ugly door!
FIFY!
The $139,000 was for a very challenging clean-up job. The stench is strong with that one.
Hoist the Flag, Boys, the Secretary is IN
Ditching his horse for a newly purchased 1965 Sunbeam Tiger Roadster ($149,000), Ryan Zinke arrives at the Stewart Lee Udall Department of the Interior Building.

Well, here’s the door. That $139,000 figure might have a huge rounding error.
Jeez, like some little 3rd world dictator.
