"Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer will be leaving the Administration to take a position in the private sector. She has done a phenomenal job in her role by protecting American workers, enacting fair labor practices, and helping Americans gain additional skills to improve their lives."
"Chavez-DeRemer's departure follows reports that began surfacing in January that she was under a series of investigations. A New York Times report last Wednesday revealed that the Labor Department's inspector general was reviewing material showing Chavez-DeRemer and her top aides and family members routinely sent personal messages and requests to young staff members."
Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigned from her position as Labor Secretary following multiple allegations of misconduct, including an affair with a subordinate and drinking on the job. She is the third Cabinet member to leave the Trump administration, following the firings of Kristi Noem and Pam Bondi. Chavez-DeRemer praised Trump's efforts to support American workers in her resignation statement. The White House announced her departure, stating that Keith Sonderling would serve as acting labor secretary. Investigations into her conduct had been ongoing since January, involving inappropriate communications with young staff members.
