So what scandals affect the world/characters you've created? If the scandal is current, and your lead character is behind it, what has led them to behave like this? What is the impact on others? Does the lead character get their comeuppance?
What are the political scandals and how did they arise? Does your world's media report them or are the scandals suppressed? And those damaged by such scandals, how do they limit that damage? Or does it change their character completely and therefore their actions?
Plenty to think about there!
