'Skirting ethical rules': Trump's key staff under investigation at interior agency

Based in part on reporting by the Guardian last year, a non-partisan group alleged a 'disturbing pattern of misconduct'

Following allegations of a "disturbing pattern of misconduct" at Donald Trump's interior department, based in part on Guardian reporting, the agency's watchdog has opened an investigation into six top officials there.

It comes in response to a 20 February ethics complaint filed by the Campaign Legal Center, a non-partisan watchdog group, that alleged a culture of "skirting ethical rules" among key staff appointed in the wake of Trump's November 2016 election victory.
