Reported and alleged 2

  1. Reported

    ProPublica found he holds two primary-residence mortgages, in New Jersey and Washington.

    ProPublica found both loans with the same bank. The White House said, “The bank, not the Secretary, determined and classified both mortgages as primary residences.”

  2. Alleged

    An ethics group says a road-trip show he took part in, backed by companies his department regulates, may have broken federal gift rules.

    CREW asked his department’s inspector general to investigate “The Great American Road Trip,” backed by companies the department regulates, including Toyota, Boeing and United. Duffy says ethics officials approved it “in accordance with federal rules.”
