Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigns

Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer's resignation was announced by the White House on Monday, marking another high-profile departure from President Trump's second-term Cabinet.

Her exit comes amid an internal investigation by the Labor Department's Inspector General into allegations of an inappropriate relationship with a subordinate and the misuse of public funds.

Keith Sonderling has been named as the acting secretary to lead the department during the transition.

The departure highlights ongoing stability concerns within the administration as it prepares for the upcoming midterm elections.
