RYAN ZINKE SPENT $139K ON DOORS—HERE ARE ALL THE TRUMP OFFICIALS ACCUSED OF MISSPENDING TAXPAYER DOLLARS
Three sets of double doors in the office of Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke are being upgraded at a cost of $139,000. Revelations of the spending follow stories over the past year about several Trump administration officials who have been caught spending taxpayer money in questionable ways.
In his address to Congress in February 2017 Trump said he would “drain the swamp of government corruption” in Washington, targeting lobbyists. That message did not appear to extend to his cabinet officials.
Zinke’s spokeswoman told the Associated Press Thursday that he didn’t know about the contract and its cost and that he agrees it’s a lot of money. The work, she said, was authorized by Interior career facilities.
Republican strategist Ana Navarro pointed out that Zinke’s doors are just the latest in a string of several scandals that have emerged from Trump’s cabinet and how they have spent taxpayer dollars.

The administration’s spending of taxpayer money should come as no surprize as the “tone from the top” has been set by President Donald Trump’s frequent trips to his Mar-a-Lago golf resort, said Walter Shaub, former director of the United States Office of Government Ethics last week.
In all, Trump has spends roughly $3.6 million each time he shuttles back and forth between the resort in Florida, the White House, and his other properties. Since his inauguration Trump has taken 14 trips to Mar-a-Lago
