In fact, I've always believed that Florence might have been involved in his untimely demise. But with all of the corruption in his administration there is no shortage of suspects.

For all of the graft and greed among his Interior and Justice Departments, it did not appear that Harding himself was attempting to use the office for his own financial gain (unlike Trump). He was mostly in it for the sex .
