Tom Williams via Getty ImagesRyan Zinke, President Donald Trump’s loyal but embattled secretary of the Interior Department, is leaving the administration after less than two years on the job. President Trump made the announcement on Twitter early Saturday, saying Zinke had “accomplished much during his tenure” and thanking him for his service. 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. “I think that Secretary Zinke was sort of torn between, as Lincoln put it, his bad angels and his good angels,” Roosevelt IV said. “Ryan Zinke will go down as the most anti-conservation Interior secretary in our nation’s history,” Jennifer Rokala, executive director of the Colorado-based conservation group Center for Western Priorities, said in a statement.
