"The Interior Department’s internal watchdog has opened an investigation into P. Daniel Smith, currently the top-ranking official at the National Park Service, for allegedly making a gesture involving his genitalia in the hallways of the department’s headquarter this year.
Nancy K. DiPaolo, a spokeswoman for Interior’s Office of Inspector General, confirmed late Friday that the office will begin a probe into the allegation. “It’s being processed, and we will be opening an investigation,” she said.
In a letter, an anonymous Park Service employee describes how on either Jan. 10 or Jan. 11, Smith “grabbed his crotch and his penis and acted out as though he was urinating on the wall” while relaying a story to another employee at the Main Interior Building in Washington."
