Emails Reveal Coordination Between Chao, McConnell
February 19, 2019 at 7:45 pm EST By Taegan Goddard
A trove of more than 800 pages of emails sheds new light on the working relationship between Transportation Secretary Elaine Chao and Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, one of the most potent power couples in Washington including their dealings with McConnell supporters from their home state of Kentucky, Politico reports.
Chao has met at least 10 times with politicians and business leaders from the state in response to requests from McConnells office In some cases, those people later received what they were hoping for from Chaos department, including infrastructure grants, the designation of an interstate highway and assistance in getting state funds for a highway project although the documents dont indicate the meetings led to those outcomes.

is the phrase I've heard attorney guests on MSNBC use for things like this. This is also easily viewed as constituent services to Kentuckians.
