WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Defense Department's inspector general has concluded that acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan did not seek preferential treatment of Boeing Co, his former employer, while at the Pentagon, a U.S. official told Reuters on Thursday.

The decision potentially opens the door for U.S. President Donald Trump to nominate Shanahan to be the next defence secretary.
