US Labor Secretary resigns

Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer has stepped down amid a series of scandals involving alleged travel fraud and inappropriate relationships with subordinates.

The White House confirmed her departure on Monday, stating she will transition to the private sector.

Her resignation comes as the administration faces mounting pressure and internal instability during its second term.

The Department of Labor's Office of Inspector General had been spearheading the probe into her conduct prior to the announcement.
