"Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer is leaving her post amid an internal investigation brought on by complaints about misconduct by the secretary while in office."
"Cheung said Chavez-DeRemer was taking a position in the private sector. A senior official at the Labor Department not authorized to speak publicly about the departure said the secretary had resigned."
"In January, the New York Post first reported that the Labor Department's inspector general was looking into complaints that Chavez-DeRemer was having an affair with a subordinate, drinking alcohol on the job and using taxpayer-funded travel to visit with friends and family members."
"While in office, Chavez-DeRemer spent much of her time away from Washington. A year ago, she launched her 'America at Work' listening tour, an initiative that took her to all 50 states."
Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer is resigning during an internal investigation regarding misconduct allegations. Complaints include inappropriate relationships, alcohol use at work, and misuse of taxpayer-funded travel. White House Communications Director Steven Cheung praised her contributions to labor practices and worker protection. Chavez-DeRemer is the third cabinet member to leave during President Trump's second term, following the departures of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Attorney General Pam Bondi. Her tenure included a nationwide listening tour, but she faced scrutiny for her absence from Washington.
