Labor Secretary Resigns

Lori Chavez-DeRemer's departure follows an internal investigation into allegations of an inappropriate relationship with a subordinate and the misuse of public funds.

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

Her exit follows the recent dismissals of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Attorney General Pam Bondi.

Deputy Secretary Keith Sonderling has been named as the acting head of the Labor Department.
