Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke failed to properly document his use of private jets and whether his wife paid her way when accompanying him on official travel, the agency’s watchdog said.

A memo from the department’s inspector general comes in response to a probe of travel on charter jets by Zinke, including trips to the U.S. Virgin Islands, Alaska and Montana, his home state.
