Trump Labor Secretary Chavez-DeRemer Resigns Amid Scandal, Keith Sonderling Steps In
Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer has resigned amid allegations of misconduct, including an inappropriate relationship with a subordinate and misuse of department resources. The resignation comes as the Department of Labor's inspector general continues its investigation into these claims. Chavez-DeRemer, who has been under scrutiny since January, announced her departure to take a position in the private sector. Keith Sonderling, previously deputy secretary, will serve as acting secretary. This marks the third resignation of a female cabinet member during President Trump's second term, highlighting ongoing challenges within the administration.
