"Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke spent thousands of taxpayer dollars on government helicopter rides to attend events including a horseback ride with Vice President Mike Pence, according to a Politico report published on Thursday.
Zinke's helicopter trips this summer cost over $14,000, Politico reported, citing travel log records obtained via a Freedom of Information Act request.
In June, Zinke ordered an $8,000 flight to take him and his chief of staff to an emergency management exercise in West Virginia, according to Politico. Zinke's justification in the record was that he was busy with an event in Washington, DC, and wouldn't be able to get to the exercise in time by car.
Politico said Zinke's official calendar showed that the event in question was a swearing-in ceremony for Rep. Greg Gianforte of Montana, who won Zinke's congressional seat in a heated special election in May. Gianforte, a former software executive, and his wife gave $15,800 to two of Zinke's congressional campaigns, the report said."
