The committee sent Chao a letter today asking her for all communications since President Donald Trump‘s inauguration between DOT and the Foremost Group and other related documentation.The investigation, first reported by The New York Times, stems from reports from POLITICO and the Times about the ways in which Chao’s actions in office may have benefited her family business.
The committee is also looking into Chao’s failure to divest from the Vulcan Materials Company after becoming secretary.
The Swamp of Trump & McConnell
thenurse75 I think this is significant. I think this is a shot across the bow aimed getting at McConnell's attention..
Didnt realize there was still doubt about this? There are folks who don't get selected to deserving jobs for much less conflict of interest concerns. Her privy to government information alone puts her at odds with family (& their biz) every time they ask for valuable information.
we're bringin' McCarthyism back?

Uh-Oh!! MoscowMitch, ElaineChoa
More Bullshit. The DEMS are now doing their best Stalin imitation in the last 70 years.
And now we have to look at Dick Cheney as the good guy because he retired and divested from Halliburton?

So the House is going to launch one political investigation after another against their political adversaries.. Absolute abuse of power. Americans -- these people cannot be entrusted with power. Time to vote Democrats OUT!

maddow ran this story months ago, what took them so long?
Will senatemajldr McConnell recuse himself from anything involving his wife?
Hey MoscowMitch, we told you this day would come. When public servants try to use their office for personal gain, someone always finds out. And when there's lots of $$$$ involved, it leaves a big trail. crew RWPUSA. Return the money and maybe you'll get off with a small fine.
