Ryan Zinke under investigation for healthcare pressure play

Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke is under investigation by his own agency’s inspector general over reports that he threatened Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, with repercussion for her healthcare vote last week.

The Interior Department’s Office of the Inspector General said Thursday that it has started a "preliminary investigation" into the reports after two senior House Democrats filed a formal petition with the IG and the Government Accountability Office a week ago to determine if Zinke violated anti-lobbying laws.
