In her time as former President Donald Trump s transportation secretary, Elaine Chao repeatedly used her position and agency staff to help family members who run a shipping business with ties to China, in potential violation of federal ethics laws, according to an Office of Inspector General report.
The findings were uncovered in the Transportation Department s inspector general report released Wednesday that detailed the office s investigation into Chao s dealings as secretary.
