House Panel Launches Investigation Into Transportation Secretary

Representatives Elijah Cummings and Raja Krishnamoorthi from the House Oversight Committee have raised ethical concerns about Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao. They are investigating whether Chao used her position for personal financial gain, focusing on her connections to Foremost Group and Vulcan Materials Company. Allegations include promoting her father's biography and aiding her family's shipping company in gaining influence with the Chinese government. Federal law prohibits such actions. The letter also highlights Chao's incomplete divestment from Vulcan Materials, contrary to her pledge. The committee has requested records from Chao by September 30th.
