U.S. Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke said he’s 100 percent confident no wrongdoing will be found by pending ethics investigations.
The former congressman from Montana faces a number of probes by federal investigators, at least one of which has been referred to the Department of Justice.
Arizona Democratic Representative Raul Grijalval is poised to become chairman of the House Natural Resources Committee and has said he wants the committee to investigate Zinke as well as the administration’s pro-industry policies.
Zinke asserted the investigations stemmed from complaints from Democrats opposed to the administration’s agenda to increase energy development on public lands.
