The Transportation Department’s watchdog asked the Justice Department to criminally investigate Elaine Chao late last year after it determined she had misused her office when she was transportation secretary under President Donald Trump but was rebuffed, according to a report released Wednesday.
The report said the Justice Department’s criminal and public integrity divisions declined in December to take up the case for criminal prosecution following the inspector general’s findings that Chao inappropriately used her staff and office for personal tasks and to promote a shipping business owned by Chao’s father and sisters. That company does extensive business with China.
“A formal investigation into potential misuses of position was warranted,” deputy inspector general Mitch Behm wrote in a letter to lawmakers.
Chao, the wife of Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky, stepped down from her job early this year in the last weeks of the Trump administration, citing her disapproval over the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol by Trump’s supporters.
Chao has denied wrongdoing. In the report released Wednesday, she did not specifically respond to allegations, instead providing a September 2020 memo that argued promoting her family was an appropriate part of her official duties at the department.

The ties go right to the top of the CCP I believe.
This is why mcconnell was out there supporting mail-in ballots. The deep state has blackmail material on everybody. Seems the only person who has not bowed to it in Trump, that is why he had to go.

Bitch the turtle better pull back into his shell.
Sum ting wong
The Turtle’s head slowly enters his shell.
What if she had a son being paid millions by a Chinese company for doing nothing??? Nothing to see here, right?
He can pull back, but cannot hide :
If we had a honest government they’d run them all through the ringer. This was likely going to be a much larger scandal if Trump was inaugurated instead of the current clown.
Is her husband not got an (R) behind his name? This is just uniparty covering their pols. Nothing will come of it. If the turtle was a Den this story would have never came to light.
😂 thanks for the link...we shouldn’t denigrate turtles with this POS.
Joe & Jill stayed on the hill to fetch sum pails of money. Joe fell down and broke his crown and you know...the thing.
Eisenhower was absolutely correct in his farewell speech warnings of the threat that the deep state is to we the people. Fast forward to 100% Metadata surveillance on everyone and every individual in this country should be ashamed and terrified. Eisenhower called it the vast military industrial complex, but the morphology squares up just about right where we are with our bureaucratic deep state. Much of the military was rolled into the state department under Clinton.
China mitch. Trump still picked her.
Show me the gal, and I’ll show you the crime.
