Teapot Dome scandal: Daugherty ousted
[Teapot Dome scandal: Daugherty ousted] Attorney General Harry Daugherty, the storm center of both the Harding and Coolidge administrations, was forced to resign. His ouster, at the reuest of President Coolidge, was the episode in what had become known as the Teapot Dome scandal, involving the leasing of federal oil reserves to private interests. In demanding Daugherty's resignation, President Coolidge, who had not been linked to any wrongdoing, said the attorney general's continuation in office was a source of "increasing embarrassment." Daugherty was the second Cabinet casualty resulting from the oil lease scandal. Edwin Denby resigned as Secretary of the Navy just a month ago.
