Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke will be leaving the administration by the end of the year, President Donald Trump has confirmed.
Trump tweeted on Saturday that Zinke 'accomplished much during his tenure' and that a replacement would be announced next week. The Cabinet post requires Senate confirmation.
Zinke is facing federal investigations into his travel, political activity and potential conflicts of interest.
His departure is just the latest shakeup in Trump's cabinet, following the removal of Attorney General Jeff Sessions and White House Chief of Staff John Kelly.
Secretary of the Interior Ryan Zinke will be leaving the administration by the end of the year
Zinke, a former Republican congressman from Montana, is leaving weeks before Democrats take control of the House, a shift in power that promised to intensify probes into his conduct.
Zinke played a leading part in Trump's efforts to roll back environmental regulations and promote domestic energy development.
Democrats angrily called for his resignation, including one congressman whose op-ed on the subject drew an extraordinary rebuke from Zinke, who accused the Arizona Democrat of drunkenness and using taxpayer money to cover up inappropriate behavior.

Zinke sent his tweet after Rep. Raul Grijalva wrote an opinion column, published in USA Today last month, saying that Zinke must resign because of what Grijalva called 'ethical and managerial failings.'
'It's hard for him to think straight from the bottom of the bottle,' Zinke tweeted in response.
'This is coming from a man who used nearly $50,000 in tax dollars as hush money to cover up his drunken and hostile behavior. He should resign and pay back the taxpayer for the hush money and the tens of thousands of dollars he forced my department to spend investigating unfounded allegations.'
The tweet also included the hashtag #TuneInnForMore, a reference to a legendary Washington, D.C., dive bar frequented by Grijalva, who was reportedly inside the bar when he read Zinke's tweet.
Zinke served as a Navy Seal for 22 years, retiring in 2008 with the rank of commander.
He was a congressman for Montana's at-large district from 2015 to 2017.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
