A senior House Democrat has asked the Transportation Department's internal watchdog to investigate whether Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao showed undue favoritism to Kentucky constituents of her husband, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
"I would expect Secretary Chao to meet with individuals from her home state more regularly than other states, but the sheer volume … is troubling,” Defazio said. “Even more troubling is the fact that Senator McConnell’s campaign touted the POLITICO article on social media.” A spokesperson for DOT, who requested anonymity in keeping with the agency's practice under the Trump administration, dismissed the media reports, saying the allegations aired within those stories"were first raised by left wing advocacy groups and hashed out in the media, and the Department has previously fully responded to them."
