During Harding's tenure, the biggest scandal was the U.S. Government leasing their strategic oil reserves in California's Elk Hills, Bovay region, and Wyoming's Teapot Dome to American oil businessmen.
One of the behind-the-scenes operators was none other than Albert B. Fall, who was then the Secretary of the Interior!
After getting to know these people from Harding's campaign team, Harry introduced Donnie to those who were unaffiliated with the campaign team.
Those were the business magnates that Donnie had been worried about.
However, unlike Harding's campaign team, who all came in person, some of these magnates sent representatives, while others came themselves.
Among them were General Electric's president Owen Young, Westinghouse Electric Corporation's general manager Luke Jackson, and Alfred DuPont… who had broken away from the DuPont Family but became a significant figure in New York.
