Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke reached out to Fox News inquiring about working at the conservative news channel as a contributor, according to sources familiar with the move.
Zinkes outreach came as the scandal-plagued former Navy SEAL and Montana congressman is looking for employment opportunities after he exits Interior, as is expected. Zinke is also seeking positions on energy company boards of directors or even with private equity firms, two sources have said.
A contract with Fox would be unlikely unless President Donald Trump asks Rupert Murdoch, the media mogul who owns Foxs parent company News Corp., one source told POLITICO.
Sources close to Zinke said he has made it known he plans to resign his position by the end of the year. He may have to leave earlier, however, depending on what Trump thinks of the investigation the Interiors inspector general office has referred to his Justice Department.
