Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke announced Thursday that he fired four senior managers at the Department of the Interior for “inappropriate conduct,” including sexual harassment.
Interior spokeswoman Heather Swift said in an email that while she could not provide specifics, the managers “abused their authority to intimidate or harass fellow employees. This includes but is not limited to sexual harassment,” ABC News reported.
Zinke also spoke directly on the matter and called for “culture change.”
