Answer to Question 1

Answer: President Warren Hardings Secretary of the Interior, Albert B. Fall, secretly leased naval oil reserves at Teapot Dome, Wyoming and Elk Hills, California to developers without asking for competitive bids. A Senate investigation later discovered that large sums of federal money had been loaned to these developers without interest.
