'Unfit to serve'? US interior secretary faces fresh ethics scrutiny

Secretary Ryan Zinke has been linked to real estate deals and questionable actions that benefit lawmakers, businesses and family

An ethics watchdog has referred findings of misconduct by the US interior secretary to lawyers at the justice department who will decide whether to pursue a criminal investigation, according to the Washington Post and CNN.

The watchdog - the interior department's inspector general - has conducted several probes involving Secretary Ryan Zinke, and it's not clear which the Justice Department could review.
