Probe: US Interior official used office for personal gain
BILLINGS, Mont. — A senior Trump administration official misused his office for private gain by capitalizing on his government connections to help get his son-in-law hired at the Environmental Protection Agency, investigators said in a report obtained by The Associated Press.
Domenech, three family members including the son-in-law and the senior EPA official had received free tickets through the office of then-Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke, the report said. Domenech followed up with multiple emails to the EPA official, including one in which he provided Frandy's name and his experience and repeated that his son-in-law was seeking a job at the agency, the report said.
No criminal violations were found, according to Greenblatt's office. Breaking the law at issue becomes a criminal matter it benefits the violator directly or the person's wife, child or business — but not if it involves an in-law, according to the federal code. House Natural Resources Committee Chairman Raul Grijalva, an Arizona Democrat, called on Interior Secretary David Bernhardt to fire Domenech.
