U.S. Vice President Mike Pence swears in President Donald Trump’s pick to head the Interior Department, Rep. Ryan Zinke. An agency spokeswoman said the department is reviewing Lynn’s case in order to decide what action should be taken. The woman told investigators that after the counseling, the harassment stopped — but that Lynn openly criticized her in a meeting in what she says was retaliation. The Lynn case follows several high-profile sexual harassment cases at the National Park Service that have prompted congressional hearings and an agency-wide survey of Interior employees. Kendall’s office referred the Lynn case to officials at the Justice Department, but they declined to pursue criminal charges.
