Ryan Zinke was investigated for tweeting out this picture of Trump socks
Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke is stepping down from his post after Democrats buried him in legal fees and investigations.
Bloomberg White House reporter Jennifer Jacobs reported, “Ryan Zinke has notified the White House he intends to step down as interior secretary. Concern about legal costs and scrutiny of his travel, political activity and potential conflicts of interest were factors in Zinke’s decision, I’m told. Plan is to announce Wednesday.”
“Replacement names that have emerged include Nevada’s Dean Heller, Nevada’s Adam Laxalt, Wisconsin’s Scott Walker, Idaho’s Butch Otter, Utah’s Sean Reyes and others,” Jennifer Jacobs added.

President Trump tweeted Saturday that he will be announcing Zinke’s replacement next week.
Secretary of the Interior @RyanZinke will be leaving the Administration at the end of the year after having served for a period of almost two years. Ryan has accomplished much during his tenure and I want to thank him for his service to our Nation…….

The Democrats targeted Ryan Zinke, a Trump loyalist with a slew of investigations.
In July, the Office of Special Counsel (not to be confused with Mueller’s Special Counsel) opened a case file on President Trump’s Interior Secretary, Ryan Zinke for a possible violation of the Hatch Act because he posted a photo of Trump socks on Twitter.
Yes, that is correct. A Trump official was being investigated over his socks.
The Hatch Act prevents Cabinet officials from participating in political activity, including wearing clothing that could be considered an endorsement — but this is only enforced on Trump supporters.
On week later, the swamp launched another investigation into Ryan Zinke over a real estate deal.
Who would want to work for President Trump now knowing they will be buried in legal fees and investigations by the Communist left over everything?
Meanwhile, Hillary, Obama, Comey and other corrupt DC swamp dwellers walk free after years of corruption and breaking the law.
