The U.S. Justice Department declined to investigate Trump transport chief after inspector general review, according to a report

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Justice Department declined to investigate or prosecute then-Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao after the inspector general’s office referred allegations of potential misuse of office for review, a report made public on Wednesday said.

The report confirmed Chao made extensive plans to include family members in events during a planned, but later canceled, official trip to China in November 2017 that included intended stops at schools that received support from her family’s business. In December during the final weeks of the Trump administration, the inspector general’s office referred its findings to the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia for criminal prosecution, which declined to open a criminal investigation, as did the Justice Department’s Public Integrity section.

The report said the inspector general’s “preliminary review revealed other potential misuses of position that warranted additional review.”
