The IG said DOJ’s criminal & public integrity divisions *both* declined to pursue it, even after the IG found REPEATED examples of Chao using her staff & office to benefit her family & their business and revealed that staff members at the agency had raised ethics concerns.🤬
The IG probe came after Chao’s grifting for her family was exposed–including a trip to China she'd planned to take in 2017 w/her father & sister. The IG confirmed that planning for the trip–which was canceled–raised ethics concerns among other officials.👇🏼
