Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigns

The White House confirmed Chavez-DeRemer's departure on Monday, stating she will transition to a role in the private sector.

Her tenure was marred by allegations including an inappropriate relationship with a subordinate and the misuse of public funds for personal travel.

The Labor Department's inspector general had been actively investigating these claims prior to her resignation.

Keith Sonderling has been named as the acting secretary while the administration reshapes its team ahead of the midterm elections.
