Lawmaker seeks ouster of Commerce Department inspector general

A top Democrat this week will ask President Obama to fire the Commerce Department's inspector general after a congressional probe uncovered a pattern of alleged misconduct, including retaliation against whistleblowers and the hiring of a suspected girlfriend. Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson , the ranking Democrat on the House Science, Space and Technology Committee, called for Todd Zinser's ouster during floor remarks Thursday.
