Rep. Raúl Grijalva (Ariz.), ranking Democrat on the House Natural Resources Committee, called on Ryan Zinke to resign over his “ethical and managerial failings.” In response, the interior secretary accused Grijalva of being a drunk. “Zinke gone doesn't eliminate the fact that we need to look into that decision-making process,” Grijalva said. As for the scrutiny of interior, Grijalva insists those inquiries will not be motivated by bad blood between him and the agency's former leader. Scene from his last days: Before he resigned, Zinke told the White House he wanted to host a holiday party. DAYBOOKTodayOutgoing Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke is scheduled to do an interview with Fox News at 6 p.m. Eastern time.
