Answer 2

Answer:

The most publicized scandal during President Harding's administration was known as the Teapot Dome Scandal.

Explanation:

The Teapot Dome scandal was the largest political bribery scandal of the US in the early 1920s and, beyond that period, remained as a symbol of corruption for a long time.

In 1921, in order to secure the lucrative private development of state-owned oil fields, two oil companies had bribed the Republican Secretary of the Interior Albert B. Fall. In 1929, Fall was the first American secretary to be imprisoned for a crime committed during his term of office.
