He was involved with the Teapot Dome Scandal. This was the original "scandalous event of the government" before Watergate. The Navy was in control of 3 major oil fields at Teapot Dome, WY and Elk Hills, CA and Buena Vista, CA. One of the members of the Ohio Gang (this was the cabinet nominated by President Harding known for being involved with many scandals), Albert Fall, was the Secretary of the Interior. He convinced the Secretary of the Navy to hand over the property with the oil fields on it to the Department of the Interior. After doing this, different oil companies that were close with him wanted the oil fields so he traded these oil fields to them for different bribes including interest-free money and the like. Fall was jailed for one year and became the first cabinet member to be jailed.
Some important events that happened during Warren Harding's presidency (1921-1923) include the signing of the Fordney-McCumber Tariff Act, which raised import duties to protect American industry; the Teapot Dome scandal, in which Secretary of the Interior Albert Fall was found guilty of accepting bribes for leasing government oil reserves; and the Washington Naval Conference, which aimed to reduce the naval armaments of major world powers. Harding also established the Veterans Bureau and implemented policies to promote economic growth.
