Explanation:

The Teapot Dome Scandal was a bribery incident that took place in the United States from 1921 to 1922, during the administration of President Warren G. Harding.

The upshot of the Teapot Dome Scandal was the accusation that Harding's Secretary of the Interior, Albert Fall, had bypassed the open bid process in awarding leases for government oil land to private oil companies.

When these leases and contracts came under investigation by committees of the U. S. Senate, it was disclosed that shortly after the signing of the Teapot Dome lease, Fall and members of his family had received from an unknown source more than $200,000 in Liberty bonds under circumstances indicating that the bonds came from a company organized by Sinclai.
