US Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer Resigns Amid Misconduct Allegations

Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer announced her resignation Monday, ending a brief and turbulent tenure marked by allegations of misconduct including claims of a relationship with a subordinate, inappropriate use of official travel, and fostering a hostile work environment. An internal probe by the department's inspector general has already led to several senior departures.

Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer Resigns Amid Internal Investigation Into Misconduct Allegations

Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer has resigned amid an internal investigation into misconduct allegations, becoming the third cabinet member to leave President Trump's second term. The investigation, first reported by the New York Post in January, examined complaints that Chavez-DeRemer was having an affair with a subordinate, drinking alcohol on the job, and using taxpayer-funded travel for personal visits. Her husband, an anesthesiologist in Portland, was also barred from Labor Department headquarters after staffers reported inappropriate touching. Deputy Labor Secretary Keith Sonderling has been named acting secretary.
