Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigns

The White House confirmed the departure of Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-DeRemer amid a department watchdog investigation into claims of inappropriate behavior.

Allegations include an affair with a subordinate and the use of government resources for personal gain, though Chavez-DeRemer has denied any wrongdoing.

Her exit follows the high-profile resignations of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Attorney General Pam Bondi.

The string of departures has raised concerns among Republicans about administration stability ahead of the critical midterm elections.
