Trump Cabinet Official Brought Subordinates With Her to a Strip Club and Kept a Booze Stash in Her Desk: Report

"A Trump cabinet official is under investigation for alleged questionable behavior, including keeping an alcohol stash in her D.C. office and taking subordinates to a strip club during an official trip, The New York Post reported on Sunday. Anonymous sources told The Post that a complaint against Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer triggered the investigation by the Labor Department inspector general's office."

"The investigation has also confirmed that rumors the secretary pursued an inappropriate' relationship with an underling were discussed internally months ago and dismissed by her chief of staff Jihun Han, the report said. Han was put on leave Monday along with his deputy Rebecca Wright. The subordinate in the alleged inappropriate relationship with the secretary was also placed on administrative leave, according to the report."

"The Post first exposed a bombshell complaint that alleged Chavez-DeRemer, 57, had also committed travel fraud' by having Han and Wright make up' official trips, was drinking in her office during the workday and enabled a hostile work environment with her top aides belittling and bullying staffers, the report said. Chavez-DeRemer was accused in the complaint of having her staff make up official trips so she had an excuse to visit her family members or travel for pleasure to favored destinations like Nevada."

Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer is facing an inspector general investigation after a complaint alleged multiple instances of misconduct. Allegations include keeping an alcohol stash in a D.C. office, travel fraud by fabricating official trips, and enabling a hostile work environment with top aides belittling staff. An alleged on-duty visit to strip club Angels PDX following a work trip is cited. Chief of staff Jihun Han and his deputy Rebecca Wright were placed on leave, and a subordinate named in relationship rumors was also placed on administrative leave. Chavez-DeRemer denies any wrongdoing and her attorney issued a denial.
