Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigns

The White House has confirmed the departure of Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer, who is leaving her post to transition to the private sector.

Her tenure was marred by an inspector general's probe into allegations of an inappropriate relationship with a subordinate and the misuse of department resources.

Deputy Secretary Keith Sonderling will serve as the acting head of the agency as the administration reshapes its team ahead of the midterm elections.

This exit follows the recent high-profile departures of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Attorney General Pam Bondi.
