https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teapot_Dome_scandal
Before the Watergate scandal, Teapot Dome was regarded as the "greatest and
most sensational scandal in the history of American politics". It
permanently damaged the reputation of the Harding administration, already
hurt by its handling of the Great Railroad Strike of 1922 and Harding's
1922 veto of the Bonus Bill.
Congress subsequently passed permanent legislation granting itself subpoena
power over tax records of any U.S. citizen, regardless of position.
These laws are also considered to have empowered Congress generally.
