Top Homeland Official Accused of Political Favoritism

The DHS IG report specifically focused on allegations of special treatment afforded to a Las Vegas casino project championed by Sen. Harry Reid, then the Senate majority leader, and an electric car enterprise led by Terry McAuliffe, who is now Virginia's governor, and involving Anthony Rodham, the brother of then-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
