Trump suggests he'll weigh in on embattled Interior secretary's future next week
The political future of embattled Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke may be determined as early as next week, President Trump said on Wednesday.
Speaking at a White House press conference, the president said he will likely have a better sense in a week's time about Zinke's role as head of the agency that oversees public lands and endangered species management.
"We’re looking at that and I do want to study whatever is being said," Trump said in response to a reporter's question. "I think he’s doing an excellent job, but we will take a look at that in a very strong -- and we’ll probably have an idea about that in about a week."
The president's comments come a day after Democrats took back control of the House, a change that many Zinke critics are hoping will place new pressure on the secretary.
