The department's Office of Inspector General is looking into whether the appointees violated federal ethics rules by engaging with former employers or clients on agency-related business.
Posters of former Interior secretary Ryan Zinke were plastered on street corners near the Interior Department offices in November 2018.
The Guardian reported in May 2018 that Domenech, the highest-ranking official named in the complaint, continued to interact with the conservative think tank that used to employ him before he joined Interior. Calendars released by Interior show Cassidy participating in a December 2017 meeting regarding Trump’s decision to scale back two national monuments in Utah, even though Cassidy had lobbied Congress on a bill addressing the president’s ability to establish national monuments just months earlier.
Nancy DiPaolo, a spokeswoman for the inspector general, said in an email, “We have opened an investigation and are considering all the material presented by CLC, but because it is an active investigation, have no further comments.” “Ethics reviewed each matter, and provided materials to the Chief of Staff, who has taken appropriate actions. All of these materials have been provided to the Inspector General,” said Vander Voort, who declined to specify what actions the department had taken. “The department takes ethics issues seriously.”
