Trump tweets that ANOTHER admin member is LEAVING…

Trump just said that yet another member of the administration is leaving, and it’s a very very controversial one.

Zinke had been constantly hounded by the news media over several scandals plaguing his tenure. 

And the news had leaked out about 14 mins before Trump tweeted it:

Was he forced to admit it by journalists leaking it?

More from The Hill:

Zinke, a former Republican congressman from Montana, is under more than a dozen investigations for his conduct in office, including scrutiny for a land deal involving a foundation he led and a company backed by David Lesar, chairman of oilfield services company Halliburton.

Interior’s Office of Inspector General (OIG) referred its probe into the deal to the Department of Justice for potential prosecution of conflict-of-interest laws. Zinke denied any wrongdoing.

That referral came at least a week before Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Secretary Ben Carson announced to staff that Suzanne Israel Tufts, a Trump political appointee at HUD, was going to replace Interior’s acting inspector general. The Hill first reported the shakeup in October. Interior later denied the report and HUD said it was a miscommunication.

I don’t see any problem here.
