Labor Secretary Resigns

Labor Secretary Resigns

The resignation follows allegations of an inappropriate relationship with a member of her security team and the misuse of department funds, including billing taxpayers for visits to a strip club.

Chavez-DeRemer has denied any wrongdoing, blaming the 'Deep State' for the scandal.

Her departure comes at a critical time as the administration faces pressure over economic instability and the ongoing Iran conflict.

The White House has yet to name a permanent replacement for the embattled secretary.
