Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke has his irons in the fire, casting about for potential employment opportunities as it becomes increasingly likely that he’ll fall under President Donald Trump’s post-midterm axe.
According to a Thursday Politico report, Zinke has inquired into positions at Fox News, boards of directors at energy companies and private equity firms.
Zinke’s spokesperson derided the rumors as “laughably false” and belonging on the satirical website “The Onion.”
A Fox News spokesperson denied the reports. “No one at FOX News has spoken to Zinke about a contributor role,” the spokesperson told TPM.
Zinke may also stay in the public sphere, as Politico reports that he has his eye on the 2020 Montana governor race, after his Cabinet appointment took him out of the running for Sen. Jon Tester’s (D-MT) Senate seat.
Though Trump has great personal affection for Zinke, his ever growing heap of ethics issues has made him into a Scott Pruitt-esque headache.
Zinke is hinky, through and through.
Need a job? How about the laundry room in Atlanta USP ?
FoxNews is for conservative GOP politicians what Branson, Mo. is for third-rate entertainers.
“his ever growing heap of ethics issues has made him into a Scott Pruitt-esque headache.”
How is this a ‘headache’ for the orange fool? These grifters take their ques from dear leader.
GOP & Trump crooks and sycophants are stretching the Wingnut Welfare Network to the limit, Fox News can only hire so many. Sarah and Kellyanne should hurry up and get their contract before the budget is exhausted.
